We called prior to the football game asking if it was ok for a late check-in, for the game didn’t start until 7pm. We were assured it would be fine, that there would be staff at the front desk 24/7. Upon arrival, we were told that the shift, prior to the current, gave our 2 queen beds to someone else, switching us to 2 twin beds. We paid upfront for 4 adults. They apologized and said they thought we only had 2 adults and the prior shift reported that they were balanced. Assuming, everyone has a bed for the hotel. The staff on hand did manage to find us a room 10 minutes away and paid for it, but it completely ruined our plans and we were extremely disappointed.

Great property & front desk, housekeeping staff. Valet parking a bit complicated, not well explained by attendant or front desk staff. Valet attendants not friendly, in their room on their phones, never offered to carry bag or open the door. They are a bad first & last impression of a pretty cool property!

We had booked a 3 night stay. No one cleaned the room even once even though I asked multiple times. They only changed towels. We also had placed a cake in their kitchen fridge for one night that we got for an event. They damaged the cake. They were quite sorry and were going to give us credit.

Fun quirky themed hotel. Great location to walkable eatery. Coffee nook is convenient for a morning grab. Rooms are okay but certainly not for guests who have high cleanliness standards. The bar is more of a dive bar feel with basic drinks in plastic cups; don’t expect luxury. Staff were very pleasant.
