It was a great place to stay with a great breakfast bar. Some place I would consider going to again. There was construction going on but outside of the protection in the elevator I wasn’t impacted.

Staff was very friendly but hotel is very basic. Breakfast was in a small room, not many tables and just basic. Not bad but I think there’s better.

The staff was nice and the bedding was cozy. The continental breakfast was way above average, which is a plus in my book. Parking is free. Free parking, great and also free breakfast and cozy bedding make it a great place to stay!!

They disable room key cards 20 minutes before checkout time. This is not published in their policy and front desk could not provide any meaningful reason why this is so.

The only issue was that they have to move us from one room to a different one because the tub was liking and water was everywhere in the floor.

Average hotel stay. Room could use a bit of updating. Bed was extremely uncomfortable. It felt as if you were sleeping right on the metal springs. Air conditioning was loud. Bathroom was outdated and noisy. Breakfast was very limited.

Used the gym. That was great! Front desk clerks were nice! Loved that there was a Starbucks right next door! Pretty quiet at night. No housekeeping services, so had to ask for fresh towels. Breakfast was ok. Other than that, hotel was ok. Would probably stay there again because of the Starbucks and the gym. MAYBE.
