Pros (+) The location is nice for walking downtown.
Cons (-) Updated rooms. Felt old, and needed work done.
Pros (+) Bed and AC both adequate.
Cons (-) Front desk person very rude. Upon entering the room, we noticed the bathroom was minimally cleaned- the shower had a sliver of bar soap remaining, and a half used bottle of shampoo. Urine stains on the wall behind toilet. Thin towels with yellow marks on them. Mold/mildew in shower. Will not be staying here again- especially at $157.
Pros (+) The people are super nice and the bed was really comfortable
Cons (-) Walls are PAPER thin. A/C unit in room was really noisy
Pros (+) Checked in at 2:00 am, and were greeted by very friendly, helpful staff. The beds were comfortable, and the room was clean. Spacious bathroom. We stayed three nights, and it was a great trip.
Pros (+) Nice rooms, great service, and great complimentary breakfast! The pool and spa were very relaxing!
