Nice Remod but Won’t Stay Here Again

Kudos to whomever led the redesign of this former Days Inn. It was thoughtful and elegant for what you had to work with. Observations: Shutters on the windows, albeit cute, block out absolutely ZERO sunlight. Interior wall-mounted HVAC is far superior to window unit. However, placement is not ideal as it blows directly on your face in bed lol. Shower is super cute but lacks any water pressure and doesn’t allow more than semi-warm temp. I really wanted to love this property but unfortunately won’t stay here again.

A Great place to stay, close to everything!

I had a great trip. It was exactly what I needed. It was the most reasonable room available in the area and I didn't have to sacrifice anything. The room I was in seamed to be recently renovated. The beds both had nice linens, a thick comfy comforter and plenty of better than average pillows. The bathroom was recently done. The shower floor was...river rock, I guess you would call it, with nice tile walls with a new large overhead shower head. If I had to make any critique, it would be on the shower. It was very nice, but the craftsmanship on the renovation wasn't... the greatest. The valve to turn the water on and off was very hard to turn, the adaptation of the new showerhead to the existing plumbing looked clunky, and the meeting of new tilework to old tilework didn't leave them with allot of good choices for cohesion. The water pressure wasn't great and the water could have been hotter. That being said, That's if I am trying to look for improvements! None of those things impacted my stay in any way. New furniture, full size iron and ironing board. A nice desk to work at with a lamp with plugs for my laptop. Beautiful new heavy duty wooden shades on the windows. The pool looked very nice, there was a fountain in the courtyard that lit up at night and a firepit area. Best of all was the full breakfast. Belgian Waffles, sausage gravy and biscuits and everything in between. Plus a self service BAR. Beer and wine on tap! A wonderful place to stay!
