The hotel is decorated in a fun bright way. The room was spacious with good counter space and the best little fridge. I definitely had to do my own wipe down, but staff was friendly and helpful. It’s not the prettiest street to be on but only a 2 minute drive to the silos and downtown!

TV didn't work and we had to send for a repairman. He had to replace the cable box. The repairman was very friendly . It just took a whole. The shower that night was cold. 2nd night it was fine, but in the morning, it was cold again. I think you need a bigger water heater.

A different guest name on the tv welcome every day felt weird as if I were in wrong room. Soggy oatmeal with floating dry flakes - either cook it right or don’t offer. You’d be better off to hire a food trucker to run a taco bar and eliminate the rest of the menu. And make clear where to order. I’m fine with no room refresh but no expectations were set and the mix ( no bed making but new towels felt incomplete. Very kind, competent front desk, unfazed by guest group rush .
