Overpriced for the quality of the hotel. Also showers don’t have hot water most of the time.

The only reason I gave 3 stars was cleanliness. Stains in carpet. Stains on pillows. Room smelled. Otherwise, everything else was good.

Got stung by a wasp on my first visit. On second visit, there was a nest of wasp on the west side of the building inside of the door. I almost got stung again. On my third visit there was a huge nest above the east side door of the building. On every visit I have reported the bee's including when I got stung. There is no sense of urgency to remedy this situation by the staff.

The room was clean and comfortable. The front desk agent was friendly & welcoming. I got very little sleep. There were children on the floor above me running, jumping & being very noisy until 1:30am. The hotel was aware but unable to get the parents to control their children. Several guests were complaining about the lack of sleep. The $185 price seems a little high for the area.
