Great place to stay as always. Room decor is very cute. This time the sink in the bathroom was very tiny which was a bit inconvenient but overall a very comfortable stay. The new rooftop bar Byrd House is great addition. The view from there is amazing and the place has a great vibe.

The first day was rocky. No help from Expedia or the $75 purchased protection insurance. The management was extremely helpful in rearranging our accommodations to meet our disabilities. Even made a purchase of stools for our convenience. I had difficulties getting into the high bed. The service staff members were awesome. Although they had microwaves, they were available upon request only. They are in the process of remodeling, so the noise and carpet were unsuitable. The manager was awesome, extremely nice and willing to make our stay pleasurable.

We stayed here in the past and enjoyed it, but this last visit was a very different experience. Our room was dirty (white smears on the walls), profanity carved into the kids’ bunk bed, and a general smell and feeling of uncleanliness. We’ll be staying elsewhere in the future.
