2/10 Poor

Clearly an old hotel that was bought and renovated by Marriott. Unfortunately the renovations were surface level and clearly made with cost saving in mind. The mattresses were flimsy and caused back pain and the air conditioning unit was so noisy I could barely sleep for more than 15 minutes at a time. No headboards on the beds, just pillows hanging from a metal bar on the wall above the bed. The hotel was in a shady area close to several homeless encampments and across the street from a strip club. Will not be returning.

Walls are a little thin. I could hear everything going on in the hallway or the guy throwing up in the next door bathroom. But all in all it was very nice place and would stay there again.

I stayed at this property when it was under its previous ownership which seemed much more appropriate than Marriott. Rooms are TINY, windows single pane and right next to railroad track. Pool seemed nice - didn't have time to go in but all other facilities and amenities off site. So given the price......

6/10 Good

Staff was really nice! The room was tiny, the bathroom missing a hanger, the bunk bed was extremely dangerous, two loose handles, ladder slide off and the steps hurt the kid feet when climbing up/down, and when the bed down, the sharp corners if not careful will split someone head/face, and one of the closer door came loose! The property was also under construction so… Way over price and a very dangerous stay.

Considering location and price expected much more. Staff unhelpful nor customer oriented. Parking at $35/night without describing why - resort fees, pool, accessories nothing

SCAM
This is NOT a hotel, not even a B&B and shouldn’t be listed on this site. No food service, no staff onsite after 21:00 and excruciatingly expensive. A complete Scam.

Great property! Staff was super friendly and helpful. Everything was clean always. Very good location can walk anywhere. My only complaint is not actual closet to hang clothes. Very small room. But otherwise a great spot!

Welcome drinks and open kitchen for Publix use was a very nice touch, unfortunately weather was too chilly to use the nice outside amenities. Lots of breweries/winery within walking distance including some great restaurants. Hotel was very nicely designed and simple with a great ambiance, however prepare to use lots of towels (plenty for 2 provided)for the floor once someone takes a shower if you like it dry (think bathrooms in Japan). It was a great place for a weekend getaway, front desk staff were super friendly and accommodating. The night desk gentleman was stern to be quiet when we did walk in a little drunk late at night but I'm sure the other guests appreciated it haha. Would def recommend and come back when I have the chance.
