Overall, I had an okay stay, but there are a few things worth noting. First, I really don’t think this property should charge $10 for parking. That was disappointing and unnecessary due to its location. On a positive note, Corinna (I believe that is the correct spelling), the front desk manager, was awesome — very friendly, professional, and helpful. The shower was frustrating. It took me quite a while to figure out how to turn it on. There’s a small slot on the spigot near the wall that you have to lift and twist — not intuitive at all. The shower head is very large, but only the outer ring functioned for me. It also wasn’t angled downward, so water sprayed against the back wall and out onto the bathroom floor. In the kitchen, there were no small pots and no larger spoons — only teaspoons. There was also no dish drainer for hand-washing items. One of the towels appeared stained or possibly not clean. If you want to grill the front desk will lend you a grill kit. We could clearly hear the people above us — they were heavy walkers — and the room temperature fluctuated quite a bit, which made it uncomfortable at times. With a few improvements, this property could offer a much better guest experience.

“Great renovation, some issues…”

We stayed at the property when it was a Holiday Inn—a terrible experience. Seeing that the property had changed hands and was thoroughly renovated, we gave it a shot. The entire property is in exceptional shape. The lobby is open and bright, the staff friendly, and the room was spotless and modern.… lisää

We stayed at the property when it was a Holiday Inn—a terrible experience. Seeing that the property had changed hands and was thoroughly renovated, we gave it a shot. The entire property is in exceptional shape. The lobby is open and bright, the staff friendly, and the room was spotless and modern. It’s hard to believe the transformation. A few hiccups: Only while taking a shower did I notice the shampoo was empty—something that shouldn’t happen. The water pressure was poor as well. Moreover, there was a storm that knocked out the TV channels—a problem not fixed during the remaining day+ of our stay. What is more, the hotel was out of eggs at breakfast. Odd thing, no? But again, great renovation and nice staff.
