No Kleenex, very rough and very small bath towels. When we arrived there were 2 bath, 1 hand and 1 wash cloth for 2 people. Requested additional set and it was given. Spout in bathtub loose therefore making the diverter hard to pull up. Toilet didn’t flush with one push of handle. Beds were comfortable. Pillows very hard and firm. Had a nice mini fridge with large freezer which accommodated all of our ice packs. Coffee tasted burned at 7 am like it had been sitting for a long time. Your website indicates that you are pet friendly but there is no grass anywhere to be used and nowhere safe to walk the dog. The manager Raji was accommodating and pleasant. I enjoyed visiting with her and she shared things to do with me.

Hotel is near many dining places, shopping marketplaces and very close to other activities. The building is old however my room was clean, the AC unit worked fine and everything was pleasant. The only complaint or thing I struggled with was the parking lot, not to many spaces and very clustered. Other than that my I am happy with my stay.

Super nice, convenient, but noisy.
Clerk that checked me in was an older gentleman, SUPER nice and chatty. Quick and welcoming. But the noise!!! It sounded like a construction crew was in the room above and next door. You could hear every bang, boom and clang. Kept me awake.
