Nice, clean room as well as lobby area. Easy and quick check in. Very pleased to have chosen this hotel for my stay! Only complaints are that the fridge has a constant buzz and there is no bedside clock or tv guide. Nothing too challenging to deal with.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
When I got to my room around 11 p.m., it was a mess, filled with dirty sheets and tons of pillows in the bed. The next morning at 7 a.m., someone was working in the hallways, making a lot of noise. And to top it off, there was no breakfast, and it was 8 a.m., just some fruit that didn't even look good.
