I have a Tesla. Even though there aren’t EV chargers, I appreciated the front desk offering that if I found a plug in the garage that I was more than welcome to plug in to it. We stayed in the loft room. Upstairs got very warm and the AC didn’t reach upstairs. Room was okay. A bit dated despite the make over.

The lobby is very nice. The rooms are okay. We had originally booked the wrong room by accident - a pet friendly room. We were really unhappy with that room; it was obvious that it was less well-cared-for, on account of the fact that they allow pets in it. We spoke to the front desk and they not only gave us a new room but gave us a free upgrade. This was above and beyond since the mistake really was our fault. We were very appreciative of the new, bigger, cleaner room. That said, I still would not say the room was spectacular. It was nice enough but lacked a few things like adequate storage, surfaces for getting ready in the bathroom, a full-length mirror, etc. We also had issues with our room not being cleaned on one of the days we were there. Otherwise, it was a pleasant stay.
