This is a very nice, quiet, and clean hotel. They seem to be doing some construction or remodeling to the front of the hotel, but signage was helpful. I liked that I was able to park my car safely in the unground garage and easily take the elevator up to my floor. I didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant, but it's very convenient. The room was very clean and smelled nice. Huge TV, several streaming services. I liked that there were plenty of outlets and charging stations in the room. The bed was super comfortable. Large bathroom. I think the best part, for me, was how quiet it was. No traffic noise, no noise from other guests or housekeeping.

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.
