Alexandra

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and while the room was comfortable, it had a slightly dark and worn appearance due to the old curtains, and it could have been cleaner. The bathtub had some hair in it, indicating it wasn't fully clean. The continental breakfast offered limited options and could use some enhancement. Overall, my stay was worth the price for that Monday night; however, I found the rate for the following night to be too high for the value offered. The location has great potential.

Comfy overnight stay

Bed were comfy, two queen room was huge, all rooms had a patio which was nice but the chairs were wet and our upstairs neighbor hung their clothes on the railing which caused the floor to be wet. But it was perfect for an over might stop!

Disliked: Amenities
The location of my room did not have any good views and the balcony on second floor was too tiny. If I had known the balcony/patio on 1st floor was bigger I would have chosen that. Also, when using HVAC unit all my allergies acted out, which tells me that the filter has not been cleaned out in who knows how long.
