Perfect for a one or two night stay. The room looked and smelled clean. Bathroom was stocked with all necessities and clean towels. Designated parking in front of your room is huge! Check in was smooth and check out was contactless making for a quick in and out. Only downside, I feel the mattress has outlived its comfort and needs to be changed and no safe available in the room to store valuables. I would stay here again.

Our stay was fantastic, and the accommodations are very updated. There were stains on the ceiling that should be addressed. It must be in need of a new roof, and I would hate to see all of that beautiful space be infected by mold.

We had a great overnight experience! The room looked very clean, updated, and had a beautiful color palette. We were planning to stay in a room with 1 bed and a pull-out sofa, but were offered a 2-bed room instead upon arrival, which was very nice and much appreciated! The only complaint we had was that there was a strong, funky smell in the rooms and even on the sheets when we first got in bed. I'm assuming it's associated with something they used to clean, but it doesn't smell clean or pleasant - kind of like really strong, sweet, artificial fruit maybe. That was a bit off-putting, but for the convenience of the location, price, and other benefits of this location, I'd still stay here again.
