Updated and very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. I was unable to get a ground floor room, so I stayed with my dog on the third floor, no elevator. She didn't like the open stairs. The bed was too firm for my taste, but all in a pleasant stay. Very quiet.

Great place to crash after spending the day exploring the surrounding areas. They’re currently updating the rooms so it’ll be nice to see how they look. Clean rooms, nice staff, and it was really quiet the three nights that we were there. The only downside was we got in late Friday night and there was no parking, we had to park across the street.

As soon as I got to my room, I noticed medical trash and other debris on the floor. I called the front desk and a crew came up to clean it. Later I noticed hairs and dirt in the shower. The wifi never worked; neither did the tv, as it was connected to wifi. When I called the wifi support number, the rep asked me for my laptop's IP address. The water kept turning off while I was showering. There was no elevator and I had to drag my suitcase up a steep flight of cement stairs. I paid over $700 for two nights! It was graduation weekend and the only place I could afford. I ended up spending another $300 to move to another hotel the second night. The staff was nice and the coffee maker worked. They agreed to give me a refund for the second night, but that went back to expedia, who has not given it back to me.
