Pros:

They provided tooth brushes and tooth paste razors ect. That was very nice I enjoyed it

Cons:

The first room was dirty had to switch rooms, after that I just didn't feel comfortable, the rooms just feel dark I didn't care for the hotel. But the staff were nice and the guy at the end we kept leaving stuff and he was kind enough to make sure we got our belongings

Great place to stay
Pros:

Great staff, very clean and the location was great. Rooms were nice and comfortable and it wasn't over crowded at the hotel. Breakfast was good too.

Cons:

The bathroom door in my room was a little hard to open and close but wasn't a big deal

Pros:

Room was great! Wish breakfast lasted a little longer on a weekend and I had two conditioners in the shower and not a shampoo and that seems silly but for over $300 for one night… I mean.. come on.
Called to get a later check out and the woman said she wasn’t qualified to answer that.. I asked if she was night audit and could see incoming bookings (I worked in a hotel for years) she said. Uhhhhhh… so that wasn’t professional but in the morning I was able to talk to someone who was. Overall though I would stay again if in a pinch like I was last night.
