Overall, property condition was good, location was acceptable. House Cleaning personnel friendly. Breakfast selection and offering was at best mediocre. Oatmeal was watered down and cold. It served its purpose for our stay, but we would not stay at this location in the future.

Room was clean and taken care of. Room was very small, had a double queen , if someone sat at table there was no way to move to the other side of room. Rest of property was lacking. No laundry facilities, what they had was broken. Only one working elevator that the inside was always dirty.

I was supposed to have a working refrigerator, but after multiple requests, and promises, I never got one. All you get told is, "I'm sorry.", and there no real resolution. Lots of smoking squatters at this hotel, and breakfast was less than desirable.
