This was my fourth time staying at this hotel, and it was fine (and the rate was good) but the breakfast used to be great, but since the switch away from La Quinta it's become pretty forgettable, which was disappointing.

The building and rooms are dated, but the hotel was VERY clean and had more amenities than some "fancier" hotels I have been in lately. We stayed four nights, and the staff was always friendly and helpful, even to the point of a maintenance guy helping us when we couldn't get our room key to work.... Thanks!
