The hotel and room were very clean and nice. The staff were excellent - we had an issue with our AC not working and they were incredibly quick to move us rooms and resolve the issue. They offered us water when we checked in, had complimentary breakfast, and was overall just a great stay.

The rooms were recently updated and clean though one smelled of cigarette smoke. The sheets and pillows were good quality The hvac unit in one was very noisy. That, together with noisy neighbors and a door you could see air around 3 sides made for a difficult night’s sleep - too noisy.
