Very clean, friendly and efficient service. But the memory foam mattress was hot and the HVAC was awful. Made for a lousy nights sleep.

There are things to like about this property. Great location, for one. The room seemed clean, but had a persistent unpleasant odor that was always present. My wife thought it was the "deodorizer" they use. To me it smelled a bit like dead fish. The place was sold out so requesting a move wasn't possible.

The staff is always excellent. The rooms are very comfortable and clean, and they have everything you need for a longer stay. No breakfast or restaurant, but you have a full size fridge to get your own breakfast items, and there is always free coffee and water in the lobby, as well as coffee in the room and some food items for purchase in the lobby’s pantry. Low pet fee, and has a dedicated area for walking pets. Good patio area also. I lived in this hotel for three months and still return, so that says a lot I think.

I just didn't work!
I reserved a room with 2 double beds and received only bed and I believe they gave us that one because of the cheaper room rate we paid. The thermostat in the room did not work we had to get up in the middle of the night to adjust the window unit. The remote control did not shut off the tv - we had to get up to unplug it from the wall.

Prompt and professional!
Due to covid protocols we needed to contact the front desk for sofa bed sheets and pillows. We had to go down to pick up the sheets, but the overnight desk person had to bring us the pillows. She provided them promptly and professionally!
