Check in was smooth and the host was pleasant. It has a great location. Coffee (complimentary) is available at all or most hours and the breakfast of fresh baked goods is decent. The grounds are well maintained and very pleasant. A nice, comfortable stay.

Staff was very friendly. The room was a non smoking room but reeked of cigarette, there were burn marks on the comforter. The fridge smelled weird and the toilet had to be flushed 3x to get everything down. It was good enough to avoid driving home drunk as me and my husband attended a concert nearby. Uber was cheap from the hotel to the venue and back.
