Great staff! I wish I got the employees name who got us checked in and then I needed some help and he didn’t even hesitate to help with my World Cup parking. Really impressive. It’s close to shopping and a Starbucks and only about 10 minutes or so from the baseball and football stadiums so super convenient location.

Staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was spacious and clean, the bed was comfy ....my only complaint is that the bed linens and towels were extremely dingy. I asked for better towels and the front desk searched for towels that were white and not so worn. She was super understanding and helpful.

All was good here. The room was comfortable and clean. It was quiet and relaxing. I did have an issue after booking that I tried to get in touch with management and they didn’t call me back, hence the 4 stars over 5. The breakfast was also very so/so. The potatoes tasted like water in the worst way but we appreciated the waffle maker.

The only issue we had was the sliding/barn door to the bathroom kept coming off track. It wasn’t a huge issue so we just dealt with it. Otherwise we had no other complaints. We were greeted by a lovely gentleman at the front desk and housekeeping was attentive to our needs. The property appeared well maintained and it’s walking distance to restaurants, shopping, etc. I also felt safe with our vehicle parked overnight. We enjoyed our 3 night stay.
