Great spot near the Catalyst

Calvin did a great job of setting us up for our arrival and communicated well. The heater is a fireplace that took some work figuring out how to keep on while turning off the flames. There is a nice little patio with fire pit area for guests to enjoy. Super convenient if seeing a show at the Catalyst.

Beds were comfy and rooms were spacious. There was easy access to both sides of street, one of which had a coffee and breakfast food place not even 1 minute away from inn. Grounds and layout were very nice. Walk in shower was very nice. Will be back to this property again in the future.

Disliked: Staff & service
Absolutely horrible stay. Was extremely loud, room next to us had a group of girls singing very loudly on karaoke from about 10 pm until about 5 am. Management did nothing to quiet them. Came there hoping for a peaceful couple of nights for my cancer stricken sickly wife, instead she got no rest at all. I contacted hotels.com customer service right away at night, Syed said he’ll contact the hotel right away. He talked to the assistant Alondra and she told him to call back Monday to talk to the manager Calvin. I sent many messages to both Alondra and Calvin, got no responses. Then spoke to Alondra face to face when checking out, and she repeated same thing that only Calvin can help. Walked to my car in hotel parking spot that costs $15 a day, and the car 2 spots away from me had there van broken into, glass was everywhere. I received no refund or help from the hotel staff management or hotels.com, was only told no refund policy. Absolutely would not recommend this place.

Lock and empty your car! Great hole in the wall!

Parking is offsite. Our vehicle was burglarized during our stay. Make sure to complete the vehicle form- leave nothing in your car- vagebons loiter in the vacuity. Hotel was clean and comfortable. Lobby well maintained and offered delicious snacks and coffee! Coffee self serve 24hrs. Excellent water pressure.
