Rachel at the front desk was extra helpful and extremely pleasant. We booked a king suite, plenty of room for 2 adults and a kid. Breakfast was good and room was clean. Plenty of food options close by.

Just no. So many issues, but comfy beds.

This was the loudest hotel I have ever stayed in! It sounded like the neighbor was in our room, we could hear their tv and every word they said. The elevator didn’t work and my 80 year old mom had to climb the stairs. The toilet in our room didn’t work correctly. The door from outside to inside in the side of the building didn’t latch and that bothered us both since we could tell people lived outside near the hotel, as there were grills and trash there. Aside from that, the hotel was great. The bedding and beds were awesome.

Great staff, meh stay

Staff was wonderful but the elevator was inoperable, we stayed here twice, a week apart, and it was still not working. Many things showed a lack of repair. Some joker had left the heat on high in our room, it was like a sauna when we arrived that took several hours to rectify.

This property has gone downhill since we stayed there 6 months ago, as evidenced by: a broken elevator, a sketchily attached toilet, and worst of all, a cockroach running across the breakfast countertop. Ugh! We will find another place next time.
