I work a contract at the hospital. And this hotel has been nothing short of amazing for me. Especially considering my work schedule, the staff at the desk goes above and beyond to accommodate. The hotel is VERY clean and comfortable. It doesn’t smell like mildew, cigarette smoke or anything else offensive. My only minor issue is that I work overnights, and sleep during the day. I’m assuming they are doing more updating because I heard a lot more construction sounding work next door, above me and right out the door. But other than that this place is the ONLY place I plan to stay at these last 6 weeks

Overall, property condition was good, location was acceptable. House Cleaning personnel friendly. Breakfast selection and offering was at best mediocre. Oatmeal was watered down and cold. It served its purpose for our stay, but we would not stay at this location in the future.
