This is a standard hotel. Does what it needs to. If you are staying and the bar is open, PLEASE, go visit Ryan. Hands down the best bartender I've come across. He puts everything into the bar and could use all the support he can get. They dont have a POS system, so bring some cash or venmo the man some tips for appreciation! His demeanor and customer value is the only reason I've spent a single dime outside of room cost at that hotel!

Rude lady at check-in on Sunday afternoon. Stupid long check in process with extra steps to verify identity. Luke warm showers. Coffee always out. I absolutely do not recommend this place at all.

One of the worst experiences of my entire life!! I was staying here as an extended stay guest. They made a mistake on my reservation and thought I was supposed to check out a week earlier than I had reserved. While I was out of town on a work trip, they packed up all my belongings into garbage bags without attempting to contact me. When I returned to the hotel, they couldn’t find my belongings. After an altercation with the front desk staff, the police were called to the property and I finally got my belongings back. I loaded garbage bags full of my items into my car at midnight on a Friday night, while also managing my dog and 2 year old. Even after admitting fault, the general manager refused to refund my stay or resolve the issue in any way. I am now working with my credit card company to resolve this issue. On top of that, their staff stole my AirPods (which I can prove with GPS tracking), and the manager will not replace them. It was one of the most egregiously terrible instances of customer service I have ever been a part of. Truly truly awful. Do not stay at this hotel!!
