Pros +
- Location and fastidious attention to detailStaff was greatDouble curtains wonderfulReception area was a nice place to hangGood parking but a lot of junk, wrought iron, carpet beyond dumpsters on hill side
- Location great. Breakfast was pretty good.
- Comfortable, clean room. Good customer service. Hot breakfast.
Cons -
- All ok. The seats a bit low on left side tables. Or…. Haha tables a bit high! At breakfast. Food fresh n great. Bagels ok but knock it out of the park n get with REAL bagels. I bet you get a lot of easterners. Eggs and bacon excellent bagels store bought variety but okThings …..Well thought out in every aspect, management on their gameBut…. No way to call front desk????
- Parking our car was an unexpected cost.
- There is a $20 parking fee. It's in the "property policies" section, so you have to seek it out. This is not a downtown hotel. I didn't expect to pay for parking but it showed up on my bill. Just charge $20 more for the room and have free parking. Don't nickel and dime after I paid in full.

The room was clean.
There was a fan in the bathroom that would not turn off completely. Even when you would think you were turning it off, it would turn back on 15 minutes later and stay on. Noticed this when we got back to the room around 10pm. We were too tired to attempt to change rooms and move all of our stuff. Unfortunately it was very disruptive to sleep with it on.
