Such fun decor! Very clean. The staff was friendly and quick to help.

We had average service at the Poindexter coffee shop in the lobby. The food was great and the staff was friendly. They were just slow to get our order prepared.

Not my expectations
Pros:

Very colorful

Cons:

It had a weird smell to it. I posted a picture of what the mattress cover sheet look like. That was just one stain. Thank gosh I bring my own cleaning supplies because around the toilet was unclean. I ended my stay a day early due to this.
