The room was smaller than we expected from the photos, we were in the new building, small but well appointed. The bed was very comfortable. The curtains didn’t come down to the will by about 8 inches, Odd choice.I would say, so I had sunshine in the day, and street lights in the night. No safe in room. The people and the location were very good.

The property and people were fantastic. The hotel rooms were clean. Alittle smaller then we expected but we were only there to sleep. Our only complaint would be the doors to the bathrooms slide and have too big of a gap. No fans as well.

Do not recommend

Pros: Ample storage for clothes for a long weekend.The bed was squeaky but comfortable. The size of the bathroom vanity was sufficient for two people to put their things down. Conned: Feeling deceived from the photos. Not a four star hotel by any means. The lobby is detached from the main area so you have to walk outside to get back inside and around the building to access an elevator to take you to your room. The fitness area is also another building separate from the main building not attached to the hotel. Some parts of the hotel were new but cheaply renovated. For example our bathroom door didn’t close. What was once a standard door with a hinge door was replaced with a sliding door that had about a 1 1/2 inch gap that you can see, here and smell everything from. What good is a bathroom door if it doesn’t close? Zero privacy. The toilet paper holder broke within the first 24 hours of being there. Hot water in the sink took about 15 minutes of running water to obtain. It was a frat party on both sides of our room and I don’t think there was insulation. The floor outside of our room was made of concrete making it sound like a parade every time someone walked down the hallway.The breakfast was anything you can get out of a can… No fresh food whatsoever except apples daily. No fresh hot coffee in the lobby. Internet was terrible and spotty is an understatement. When we asked about it, they said they were gonna wait for maintenance to reset the router but he said he forgot.

Hair on the pillow when we got there… not mine
This was as far as the door could shut. Sad that this is acceptable.
