I liked the location of the property. It was easy to go where I needed to go since it was downtown. The one thmg I did not like was the $14.95 for breakfast, which meant I had to leave the property for meals.

Downtown hotel was in a perfect location for a family wedding. They accepted pets which was key for me. The staff, all of them, were friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable. Some guests didn’t follow suggestion for preventing their doors to slam shut, but that is not the hotel’s fault. We never tried breakfast buffet although they had one. There’s a church across the street whose clock bells chime every hour and every 15 minutes but we never heard it in our room. My only desire would have been a view of it, as we were on the other side with a a view of an industrial rooftop. We were comfortable and slept well. Plenty of hot water for showers.

The staff was nice and friendly It was cool that they have a restaurant on the property and a bar now let’s get to what i didn’t like they charge 12.95 per person for breakfast when it should be free like all the other hotels and the room we stayed in was not up to par I don’t even think no one came in to clean the room properly someone had left there soap in the shower the ceiling was falling in the bathroom and the toilet was running be we fix it ourselves and I couldn’t even charge my phone because none of the plugs worked in the room for my iPhone they need to do a little tlc to the hotel room’s maybe in the near future I will return and see if my experience will change my review on this hotel.
