Clean

I love the floors do not having carpet. I was disappointed that the hotel is now allowing dogs. Housekeeping must be requested. They have very small trash cans. I would love for the hotel to offer recycling.

Customer Service

I stopped in around 11:30 to see if I can check in early, the lady at the desk was not helpful and not very friendly, She said.. the rooms aren't ready yet, I was not asking to check in that early, we wanted to do some shopping but wanted to check in at 2 or so. She did not ask me what time we wanted to check in. She just said, the rooms are not ready. I asked for phone # to call to check. She did not offer it.
