The property/room was very nice and well maintained. It was a delay in my check in time but the young man at the front desk was great, he did his best to make the inconvenience better. I was pleased with everything he did as well as my stay.

Loved the Mecklen. I consider myself a bit of a hotel snob, and I could not have been happier with my stay. It was clean, the staff was extremely helpful, great location, and the decor of the hotel is a huge added plus that makes it feel very homey!

I’m not sure how old this property is but it looks like it’s brand new like only two years old or so. The scent that’s pumped into the hallways is so calming and such a high end touch it goes miles above and beyond paired with the plush carpet by the time you get to your room you’re so relaxed it’s time to go to sleep. And the bedrooms are so comfortable that you forget about what you have to do tomorrow. Great rooms.
