Unfortunately they are going through a huge renovation so the lobby is out of commission as well as the elevator. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. The overall experience was tainted by having to climb the stairs with my luggage and also not having a lobby to check in, get coffee, relax, etc. Felt as though they should've closed the whole property in order to do this renovation.

Had a great stay. Love when breakfast is included but would like to suggest a higher quality pancake mix & oatmeal. And, it was way too hot in the breakfast room. Thankfully, the staff opened a door after we asked. Why no A/C in there or the hallways?

First off, they had no lobby for check in and the elevator was broken. Parking was horrible with construction items taking up most parking spaces. We had to check in where the staff entrance was which was tiny and unwelcoming for what we paid. The room was decent and clean though.
