Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
It was a good stay overall, but the staff was somewhat rude and unhelpful. We had booked thru Expedia and were double charged. Hotel staff couldn’t get billing to go through hotel booking service (which was prepaid) so they charged our card without telling us. When we called they essentially told us it wasn’t their problem.

They had our booking for only 2 days, so we had some issues with the elevator, my 67 yr old husband had to walk 3 flights of stairs to our room. We couldn't program our tv's for the first 2 days, the front desk ladies were helpful especially the "mature" one w/ short hair the 3rd time. We were celebrating my 60th b-day, asked for an upgrade toa window room, but were 30 seconds too late, what does that mean? no-one asked if we wanted our room made up? My husband said eggs were cold.(I enjoyed the breakfast, staff was on point!) the room was nice and big, charming, not very well cleaned, but manageable. Not sure if new mgmt or the change of whatever, Good Luck in getting the kinks worked out!

A nice stay in Canal Park
A nice hotel in the heart of Canal Park. Nothing super flashy but having the kitchenet is nice if you are there a couple of days. Quality breakfast and friendly helpful staff. Could use a bit of up keep on the room (towel rack was loose and minor things like that) but nothing that ruined or even affected the stay.
