Do NOT stay at this hotel. I stayed there 10/17 and noticed on 10/23 that I had all sorts of itchy red bug bites on my neck and arms. Bedbugs can take up to 2 weeks to show signs of the attack. I should’ve been wary earlier since my boyfriend found an earwig on the headboard. There was no working fan or hair dryer in the bathroom and we weren’t given enough towels either. Front reception was friendly at least. Breakfast was coffee and packaged muffins.

Disliked: Amenities
Superficially, it looked good after reviewing the details.It needed more work specifically.There is a telephone in the room, but it's not connected at all. The water faucet in the shower was completely reversed.Cold was hot hot was cold, there was one ice machine for the entire building, and it was empty.And I was told, tenants must have filled up their cooler.But when I walked past it, it was streaming water out of the ice compartment.So I believe it was broke. Also, this is the first time i've ever seen a pop machine with a label on it.That says waiting for deliveries plus other than two types of cheerios extremely limited food.

Great service!

We needed an early check-in and the owners went out of their way to make it happen. Even going so far as to call my cell phone when the room was ready rather than us just hanging out in our car. Wonderful service!
