Clean rooms and nice hotel. Staff friendly but double charged me for room. Booked through Travelocity but took my card for “hold”. They double paid themselves. Can not get anyone to straight it out. Had to call my credit card company to dispute the charge. Very frustrating

1/2 way down our floor there were partitions setup and stuff laying on the floor as if it was under construction. Constant banging from something in the morning. Didn't sound like doors. Noisy road. Front desk was very helpful when we checked in and provided local restaurants.

Dear B., Thank you for taking the time out to review your recent visit. We strive to make certain our guest experience is a positive and welcoming one., and it appears we may have missed our mark. It is our goal to make sure we are up to date in providing the best of the best. This is why we are currently renovating all of our guest bathrooms. While we do have signs up in our lobby and on our website, I understand the reasoning behind your frustrations. I can not take back your experience, but I hope in the future you would give us another shot!

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to rate us. Since we do not know your name, we have no idea what went so wrong that you gave us the lowest score. Did you mean to give us a 5? If you could get in touch with us to clarify any concern you have we would greatly appreciate that. We take great pride in the comfort and care of all our guests. Thank you so much. Warmest Regards, Gus Genetti, Owner
