Staff was very welcoming and personable. Room was awesome in size, decor and it was spotless. We had a short walk to Belly Up for a concert. The hotel had some snacks for purchase in the lobby which was convenient. Pool was under construction, but we weren't using it this trip anyway. We did not eat the free breakfast. Lobby is simple, nothing fancy but didn't bother us. It was clean with some cool retro furniture. We would totally stay here again.

Hotel is under major renovation. This was not originally disclosed at booking. There is no pool available. There is no lobby. Front desk check-in is in a utility area at the rear of the hotel near the parking lot. The breakfast area is in the same utility area. There are no tables and no place to sit and eat. The hot breakfast consisted of microwave breakfast sandwiches that you prepared yourself and took with you. The room itself was great. New and renovated. However, you have to stay in it the entire time you’re there because there are currently no other amenities available. While I give them credit for making the best of it, the hotel probably should not be open in its current state. Additionally, the rate paid was based on a fully functional hotel. Comparable properties were priced similarly. Had we been aware of the level of renovation occurring, we likely would have chose a different hotel.

The hotel was clean and also had wonderful staff members. I wish the contenintal breakfast had more items to choose from though, was sort of small. Our room was decent, but only down side was it was facing the intersection so a little loud, and also the random freight trains that went by early in the morning. My husband and I would definitely stay there again and maybe it would be finished with the remodel..

Expedia’s depiction of this property is highly misleading! It’s torn apart and I didn’t learn it until it was too late to get a refund. No breakfast room, no pool, no whirlpool. TV in room didn’t work. Toilet wouldn’t flush. Constructive everywhere. I have stayed here yearly for 10 years. Never again.

The external parts look a little weird right now, and the pool is closed because it's under construction. But the room was freshly renovated and very comfy. The rooms are small as far as I can tell, as it is a small hotel and it is in a very high demand area. But for the size it was lovely. And perfect for my needs. Very very clean and comfortable Very very clean
