The hotel was very nice. Our only issue was the door to the bathroom. It was a barn door design which should slide easily to open and close ( using your fingers). This door wasn’t properly installed. A child wouldnt be able to open & close this door!

Quiet, Clean, Comfortable Hotel w/decent Breakfast

A very pleasant overall stay in a very clean hotel. I didn't pack a couple of items that were needed on the trip, but they had a store in the lobby where i was able to purchase them, and the staff was available to help with the purchase- even after 1 AM. Very quiet hotel and didn't hear any noise from any adjoining rooms. I also liked the fact that there was a gym on site, which I took full advantage of. I would definitely stay here again if i had the opportunity.
