Compassionate Check-in

The Lady Proprietor at the hotel was very kind while assiting me with a challenge when I was checking in. This compassionate event made my stay very comforting. Thank you for you kindness.

There was a hole in the bathroom wall, as if someone who stayed in said room before opened the bathroom door with force and left a door handle sized hole.

Some issues, but overall an ok stay

Smallest parking lot of any hotel I have stayed at. If you get there early and get a spot, leave your car there and uber if you have plans. Also, they have a motion sensor in the bathroom which the light turns off after a few minutes. The sensor doesn't include the shower, so the light turned off during my shower. Other than that, the bed was comfortable and the room was relatively clean.
