Terribly rude service.
We stay at hotels almost every weekend. The front desk guy was the most rude unprofessional person I have ever encountered. Make sure you read the fine print - you have to check in by 11 and there’s no exception. They won’t “inconvenience” themselves to wait for you.

This is a great hotel. The desk attendant seems like the owner, and is amazingly friendly and helpful. The rooms themselves are clean and in excellent shape. Highly recommend!
