No bell hop, no WiFi that works on TVs, limited parking not convenient for traveling, front desk was kind of rude and had hidden high deposit fees that was not disclosed in booking, microwave didn’t function properly and the pillows to the needs were trash. I wouldn’t recommend this spot, and will not be returning.
