Loved our stay! They had everything to cook with in the room but asked the front desk if they had a griddle to make pancakes, the lady was so nice to really look if they had 1 but they didn’t. But it was ok we made it work with whatever they had in the room.

We were only here for a night. The rooms are newly renovated and so it looks very nice. We had a kitchen our room and spacious bathroom. The only issue I had was a few hairs on the bed linen…

Disappointing
I was disappointed that we were charged $35 for checking in a couple hours early. Based on that we should have gotten a refund for checking out 8 hours early. For that reason alone, I will likely not ever stay here again. I've checked in early multiple times over the years at different hotels and have never been charged before. The room was nice, the bed was ok. We got a suite with a kitchen which was stocked with limited supplies.

The room was clean and bed was comfortable.
The snack pantry near the front desk was pretty bare. Not much food to buy. The only tea bags avaliable in both our room and the pantry was green tea. No sugar free drink options. Such as diet soda or flavored sparkling water zero sugar.
