Our stay here was great overall. Room was spotless, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer—they were super courteous. There was some remodeling going on but they made a serious effort to limit any inconvenience. Solid spot, we will come back.

The Dylin by Mint House
HVAC making a squeaking sound. Booked thru Expedia. During booking process - nothing was mentioned about a pet fee. That should be transparent during booking process.
