Yes the kitchen was fully equipped and parking space was good. My only complaint is the water was cold in the shower. One of the staff offered to move us but I heard another guess say they water was cold. So it wasn’t a need to move. Just turn up the hot water. Overall great hotel with a great price. In a great area. Also get breakfast that would be a plus.

Ended up asking for a full refund within 30 minutes of arrival. The first room we were given when we unlocked the door it was already occupied . With the 2nd room the bathroom tub needed to be cleaned and hair was visible throughout the bathroom and sleeping area. Fitted sheet had spots and when asked for them to be changed we were told that we could change them ourselves . No more rooms were available that we booked but we were not given the option to be discounted if we downsized . They didn’t want to accommodate and didn’t want to give us the refund originally when asked .

It looked to be in the beginning stages of a new ownership remodel. The staff was friendly and accomodating. The common spaces, hallways, and amenities areas were clean and available. My room, upon entry, felt and smelled fresh and clean. As a matter of fact, cleanliness was my first notice. The furnishings and decor had a minimal modern look and feel. Cozy in size, the bathroom was standard in size. All amenities provided, including the body was, shampoo, conditioner trio on the wall of the shower. The full size closet contained an ironing board, iron and even a small clothes basket for your laundry. The kitchenette was well stocked and convenient. Full sized refrigerator w/ ice maker, new microwave, table cook top and any dish you might need. Quiet is generally my primary request because a good nights sleep is always on my to do list. I was not disappointed, I do believe it may have had something to with not many guests being in residence. I also got the impression that the walls and floors didnt have best insulation. I played it safe and took the highest floor room. I think being on a lower floor would have proved to be a miserable. Overall, yes I would return and yes I would recommed a stay to my family and friends. If i had one request it would be, "get a Keurig coffee maker" 😄

They're renting rooms long term to crack heads and it seemed like every person checked in had a barking dog in their room or were in the middle of a domestic shouting match. Unfortunately, this trip, they committed the worst sin a hotel can. At 9:30 pm on Friday night, someone puts a key in, opens MY door and walks right into my hotel room! Apparently when they moved me from one room to another, the front desk didn't check me in to the new room and it showed vacant. Obviously it wasn't. That's a great way for someone to get shot. A real shame, it's a very nice property in a good area but they'll be out of business within 2 years at this rate. I won't go back.

We arrived shortly after 8pm to check in. There was a long line of people standing at the front desk and only one person working the desk. The employee dehind the desk was constantly taking phone calls while the guests at the desk had to wait. We stood in that line for aboit 20 minutes. While standing in line, we heard other guests say that their keys werent working, or that they were put into a room with a bed that had no sheets. When we got checked in and walked to our room, our key worked, but our door was jammed shut. We got the front desk employee to come to our room door and he had to jimmy the door handle to get the door to open. Once inside the room, we were greeted with the stickest floor. When we walked on it, it sounded like someone had spilled a super sugary drink on the floor and didnt clean it up. The light switch shocked me when i turned it on. The water pressure in the shower was so intense, that it almost hurt. The bed was clean and had sheets (lol) The hallways shad and overwhelming stench of weed, cigarettes, and some very intense air freshener that i tjink they were teying to use to mask the smell of weed and cigarettes (lol) Overall, not the worst stay, but certainty not the best. It definitely wasnt worth the $150 i spent for a one night stay... and it definitely doesnt look or feel like the website listing makes it look and feel....

Extremely rude staff member argued with me for asking for some additional toilet tissue (we were almost out, with 24 hours to go) and someone to empty out our one TINY trash can. Absolutely NO amenities didn’t make me happy, either. I will NEVER stay there, again!
