Great location and staff

Staff was kind and efficient. Bed was comfortable and clean. Location is amazing sharing a parking lot with Trader Joe’s, coffee shop, REI, Dave and busters, climbing activity, Top Golf. Perfect 1/4 mile walk to Orion Amp on a paved nice sidewalk. The room needs some attention. Peeling wallpaper, new paint needed. The most obnoxious thing in the room is there is no light filtering curtain. There is a decorative blind on the window that leaves a 1-2” gap for all the sunlight to come through before 6am. A curtain is 100% needed.

The blind controls were simply not there, and when we called the front desk for help, they didn't know where the controls were. Walls paper thin. No water pressure in the shower.

The selling point for this property is the location. There is a lovely walking path beside the hotel with lots of nice small restaurants and shops. The hotel itself is fine- but is definitely showing some wear and tear- old carpet, water spots, lots of dings in the furniture. The beds are comfortable which is a redeeming quality for the room.
