Great location but bad service

The location was great for this hotel. However the staff was rude and dismissive. Also, a couple of our rooms were not thoroughly cleaned even after mentioning to cleaning staff that there was a roach in the room.

Staff was super friendly and helpful. I felt safe the entire time as a solo traveler. Great happy hour specials and tasty food options. Menu pricing was similar to surrounding restaurants. It was exactly what I needed.
