The staff was courteous though the chicken progress was fairly long as they were distracted by some issues with another guests room. Our room was extremely small, much smaller than the other three rooms people in our group had but it was adequate. It could have been cleaner, there was still trash on the floor from the previous guests but overall it was comfortable. Love the location, lots of things within walking distance

Check in was confusing. Was showed to a room that was not ready. Then shown a room that already had someone in it. Then the 3rd room was on the 4th floor where they were renovating. Room was far enough away from the construction that it was very quiet. Furniture in the room is adquate but outdated. Bathroom had a dirty towel hanging in it. Staff was very friendly. Facility is pet friendly with nice pet area. Breakfast was adequate with variety. Would i stay there again? Probably.
