Overall stay was nice. I had two issues first one was when checking in nighttime clerk was not at the desk. After waiting for approximately five minutes, had to call to inform the clerk I was outside, trying to check in. Also blanket was dirty, but the housekeeping came in resolve my issue. The location of the hotel is very ideal. Lots of eateries and things to do nearby. Would come back and stay again.

This courtyard has seen better days. Outside it’s located in a great little area with lots to do. Inside needs a good cleaning and repairing. I didn’t shower due to the funk on the shower floor. Dust and lint on the AC intake showed further lack of attention to detail. AC and internet were both on point. Staff seemed very friendly. I’m sure you’re on candid camera but you can walk from outside into the parking garage and up to the back of the lobby and then up the separate elevator to room floors without need of a key or room card. Not great.
