Ran the shower a LONG time and never got hot water. Ridiculous coffee set up for breakfast. It’s novel that each cup is ground and brewed to order. However it created a huge backup that was unnecessary if we could have just poured it from an urn.

Julie

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Bed was moderately comfortable. Rooms well-designed for storage and a separate sitting area with a TV (we got a room with two queen beds). Area around the hotel was designed more for travelers coming off the interstate—more concrete than green for sure! It was an adequate stay. No real complaints but not remarkable either.
