The 'service dog" in the next room barked all Saturday morning while the people were out at breakfast. Put dogs on their own floor so the rest of us can sleep late!

The guy at the front desk tried blocking me front going to the bathroom which is illegal. I tried explaining my partner had the reservation and I just needed to pee after a 2 hour road trip. He ended up BANGING on the door of the bathroom as I peed. I had my partner immediately call their company to unbook and book at Marriott across the street. This level of harassment is unacceptable ANYWHERE.

Bad experience. Good location. 0 hot water. The worst part was there was a holiday parade that blocked off Franklin street. The staff did not make us aware of this at any point, so when we go to checkout and get home, we are told we can’t leave until 2.5 hours later after the parade. Really frustrating as all it took was someone to mention we would need to be out extra early or park somewhere else. Won’t be back.

Good location in town. They randomly increased the price from what I booked online at the front desk.
No breakfast included. I bought breakfast and that brioche bun was not fresh. The eggs were also not from a chicken! It wasn’t too expensive so can’t complain too hard.
I thought it was a bit gimmicky, the decor. Maybe that’s just what a college town hotel is supposed to be?
