Staff was super friendly. Room was clean and decor was nice. Bed was super comfortable. The only issue was the lack of a window and the incessant knocking, which sounded like a constant tap and never stopped all night. Not sure if there’s a plumbing issue or something going on, but it was definitely annoying.

Left the room early in the morning and returned around 5 p.m. The room had not been cleaned and there were no fresh towels. The young lady at the front desk was very helpful in getting us fresh towels and cups for the room.

Overall the property was good. Hayden the bartender at Siren went above and beyond. Was unable to do self check due to the iPad not being logged in.
