the staff was really helpful. i asked for extra towels and got them right away. the room was spacious and very clean! the off-street parking not sketchy at all. the hotel was busy but everything still ran smoothly.

the tv didn't work all weekend! i reported it to reception, but nothing happened. netflix also wasn't working. i wasn't a fan of walking through reception to get to the pool. the bedroom carpet had several stains on it too.
