The hotel was decent but offered a comfortable stay overall. The room was clean and reasonably spacious, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location was convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions and restaurants. The amenities were adequate, although some areas could use a little updating.

The staff are super friendly. Rates are reasonable and the location is great. The only drawback is that it’s a bit dated and is in need of some tlc. With that said, we did notice a sign that indicated some floors were being renovated.
