Upscale Accommodations for a Value Price!

The first thing I noticed was how spotlessly clean the room was, then I enjoyed the best shower ever in that upscale new walk-in shower, then I slept in a cloud-soft bed. The breakfast menu was a special treat; very nice!

It took too long to have hot water. I would turn on the hot water and then have to brush my teeth and hair before it was even slightly warm. Also, the lobby is under construction, so there was noise in the front of the hotel, which lent to a very less than satisfactory atmosphere. The one really nice thing was that they offered pizza and popcorn at 5 PM for the customers.

A lot of bang for the buck at this location. Very friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant turned out an excellent grilled salmon and steamed vegetables dinner which I had in my room (no room service but they text you when your meal is ready to be picked up at the bar). The hotel does a very good job all around.

My only complaint is the walls were paper thin. The gas next-door party late and woke up early partying and that’s not acceptable on a Sunday morning at 6:30. Also, I am still waiting for my 200 deposit that was taken on the 31st and tomorrow is the fifth. I get that it’s a holiday. I also understand that Properties, bank and bank properties and someone getting interest not me. I will think twice before putting down a deposit.
