The location and the beds were the only good things about this hotel. The room was dingy and needs an update. There was no closet, so the iron and ironing board were on the wall. Everything was mismatched and just seemed dirty. Not impressed with the amount of money we paid for the room. And it was noisy.

Bed was not comfortable at all, very firm. Wasn’t much parking. Staff gave us a handicap room and we didn’t need it. So everything was too low for us tall people. There was no mention on website that the walls are thin and could be very noisy. First clue was ear plugs in bathroom. We could hear full conversations of the rooms next to us and outside. Couldn’t sleep! Love the patio, but couldn’t utilize it. Shower was hot and great water pressure. Loved the soap. The room seemed dated and old compared to photos on the web. Not worth the price we paid.

For a BW Plus we were very disappointed. The mattress was in poor condition. One side was collapsed and my wife had a hard time sleeping on it. The room A/C was extremely noisy and there was no way to program it to provide a low fan speed for the white noise that I like sleeping with. Also, the shower had dispensers for shampoo, conditioner and body wash. the body wash dispenser was empty. Very disappointing given the extremely high cost for the room.
