Nice Place to Stay

This place is lovely, and I highly recommend the Junction restaurant. There were a couple of issues with the staff during my first night, but the manager called me, and made it right. My room could have had a nicer view, but it is what it is.

The property is very clean and the staff is excellent, always have a smile and very friendly and helpful. Our bedroom space was very clean, attractive but the bed was too hard and the pillows felt like they were filled with cement. the bathroom was a disappointment. There was a large area of rust around the bathtub drain, a turnoff for someone who likes baths. The bathroom door was so swollen that it was extremely hard to shut. The pedestal sink is sweet but there’s no place to put anything. The toilet most often doesn’t flush adequately. We didn’t use any services when we were there. The location of the facility is attractive and it was quiet. I was able to walk in the nearby neighborhood.

The hotel called us and ask us to switch rooms the day before our visit, as we were in a handicapped accessible room. We did, and the room they switched us to was directly overlooking the delivery area. All morning from 7 AM on all we heard was trucks constantly beeping as they backed in and doors slamming. Really ruined the whole experience. Bed was lop sided as well.

I don’t think the property was aligned with the rate. Also, for being a culinary-focused facility, our experience with their restaurant was disappointing.
