One night stay. The room was very clean and updated and my husband really liked the outlets next to the bed as well as the echo dot in the room. The self service option was easy to navigate and the bartender at the Lean Two was very fun and personable. I highly recommend his property !!

Room was very nice. Clean, well kept. Snacks downstairs were nice. Walls are paper thin and the heat was on absolute full blast which was brutal. Shower was very small and the angle of the shower head was very awkward. Other than that it was a good stay for an evening
