Fire alarm at 8 am on a Sunday
Check in was very speedy. All was well until 8 am Sunday morning when the fire alarm went off. Very loud ear piercing sound. No staff to be found no guidance, went on for a long time. Loud speaker eventually said the alert was over. No explanation and no sorry at check out. On the bright side it got us up early and to Green Eggs for brunch.

The hotel is very centrally located. You can walk everywhere from here. The parking is right at the hotel. The staff was extremely friendly. The pillows were super comfortable. Granted it was a "petite queen" room, it was small. You could hear the outside noises as well as the hallway activity. Overall, really good place to stay.

Really unhappy, first they didn’t tell me they ‘hold’ $150 that I still haven’t received back and they promised would immediately be refunded. There was trash all over the hotel in trash bags but no cleaning crew in sight. The carpet was visually dirty with things all over it. We finally got to our room and it smelled like bad cologne, dirt and cigar. Something sticky was covering our table. It reeked. It made our stomach sick so we requested a new room. The other thing is, it wasn’t the room we even paid for. It was a smaller room and smaller bed. They fixed the error and moved us but I’m super unimpressed and unhappy overall. The last issue was also the fire alarm. It had a bright blinking light that goes off all night. How do you sleep comfortably with a blinking light in your eyes ?!
