Other than the bed being a bit soft, the time was great! Loved the kitchenette. Would definitely stay there again.

I will never ever stay here again. The comfortable bed and night manager cannot make up for nonworking EV chargers that I paid for and did not charge my car which caused us to miss the event we were in PA for, a stovetop that didn't work well, and an elevator that stopped working every few minutes after being reset. I chose this hotel for EV charging and a kitchen. We did not even stay the second night.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this location given I saw some recent mixed reviews. The place was fine. I mean, it wasn't a Four Seasons, but you aren't paying for a Four Seasons. I saw a comment from someone who previously reviewed this location who called the furniture 'dated'. I think that is a fair assessment, but the beds were extremely comfortable. The staff could not have been any nicer, and they directed me towards a nice place to eat dinner.
My only gripe, and the reason I can't give 5 stars is that the water pressure/hot water in the showers could improve a bit. Perhaps I was taking a shower around 7am when many others were using the shower too, but the best description I could give to the hot water, was 'luke warm'.
I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Stayed here because pet friendly but I will not suggest this place if you actually walk your dog. Good to relive themselves I guess but not to walk, not even around the block unless you want a workout there is a incline you'll feel
