The property exceeded our expectations! I've never had a hotel room with 2 full bathrooms! The beds were super comfy, and loved the small balcony. The staff were very kind as well.

The only improvements we would suggest is maybe a flyer with more of the site info, like how to get extra wash clothes etc. We would really appreciate and extra shelf added to the bedside.. it is impossible to put glasses, water, book, phone on the tiny shelf

First time we checked into a hotel that did everything virtually. It was odd and my wife missed the personal touch. BUT everything went smoothly and we had a great stay. One of the rooms on our floor must have flooded because the hotel had to call people in to resolve the water leak that went from the second floor to the parking area. Other than fans in the hallway, it didn't disturb our stay.

Easy key-less check-in administered by text messages. Your phone needs to stay charged to remember the codes, or take a screen shot, or have a great memory of 3 #’s. The rooms are very clean and modern. What I did not like - for a light sleeper it is not ideal. I found the bed uncomfortable and there was a constant generator/broiler-like humming that made it difficult to fall asleep. The walls are very thin so any talking in the hallway, showers taken next door, were easily palpable to hear. Luckily my neighbors were quiet. The Roku tv did not provide much live sports tv options. It was fine for the the event I was there for, but I probably would not stay there again.

I booked through Expedia back in May for a rate that was 2X the current rate that could be obtained directly from the hotel. This is WAY TOO MUCH for a hotel that offers limited service - get your own towels, take out your own trash, and room cleaning only twice per week (if you sign up for it). There is no pool. There is no breakfast. The room rate now on the hotel web site is less than half of what I paid. BUYER BEWARE. Make sure you know what you are paying for with the Dexter by Kasa. There are many other options in town offering greater value.
