Nice facility; very comfortable rooms. Although they don't clean the rooms every day (i.e. make the bed, bring fresh towels, etc) I wish they would at least empty the trash cans every day. There are only two small trash cans in the room, and they were filled by the second day. I had to empty them myself into the outdoor trash container. Either empty every day or use bigger trash cans. Front desk employees were very nice and helpful.

Nice Remod but Won’t Stay Here Again

Kudos to whomever led the redesign of this former Days Inn. It was thoughtful and elegant for what you had to work with. Observations: Shutters on the windows, albeit cute, block out absolutely ZERO sunlight. Interior wall-mounted HVAC is far superior to window unit. However, placement is not ideal as it blows directly on your face in bed lol. Shower is super cute but lacks any water pressure and doesn’t allow more than semi-warm temp. I really wanted to love this property but unfortunately won’t stay here again.
