The hotel was very nice and we’re excited to experience the stay. We enjoyed the stay until we were woken up with construction at 730 in the morning right at our window. We were not told about the inconvenience it would be or warned. I feel this was unfair and not what I payed for. The staff could have moved us knowing that construction was going to take place.

Make sure you ask ahead of time about the 30 dollar charge for parking. I wasn’t aware if it until I went to check out and it advised me. There is plenty of street parking. The pillows are horrible the bed was okay the room was clean

Called staff in regards to marijuana smoke in room from neighboring unit. Staff said they walked the property and didn’t see anyone outside their balconies and that it’s legal to smoke in public near the buildings walkways. I have video of the neighboring units guests outside on their balcony. No resolution. Poor customer service and room quality is outdated, ran down and not clean. High cost for sub par quality and service.

Room was clean and staff was very curtious. Walls were very thin though. I could hear my neighbor fart, speak, open a bag a chips etc. Nothing they can do about that, but if your a light sleeper, like me, pack some ear plugs.
