Daniel

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A $20 charge for checking in early despite the room being ready. Manager said the owners were in business to make money. Only 2 towels in room for 3 day stay. Worst breakfast I've ever seen. There were biscuits, bagels, a waffle machine & an orange for fruit plus coffee. Loud staff conversations from behind the checkin desk about their personal life. Unprofessional behavior. Windows were impossible to open more than 2 inches. It was a really sub par operation in all respects

The hotel is well-maintained, but the fitness room does not have any free weights or weight machines. Only has an old stationary bike and treadmill. Nice complimentary continental breakfast with very good waffles along with muffins and bagels.
