Nice place to stay as part of a long trip

Service was great, room was clean and well kept. The only issue we had were children running down the hallway at 5 in the morning. I would stay there again if in the area.

Honestly the hotel itself wasn’t bad. Not quite what I was expecting with the great rating. As others have mentioned the pillows are a joke. Literally 9x9 squares in a huge pillow case. Hot water took forever to get hot, and printer wasn’t working. What I was really taken aback by was the location. It’s right near train tracks that I don’t think are used anymore, due to the fact there was a pretty large homeless camp located there.

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and the room did have the extra room, but it was more of a wide open room and did not have upgraded features as I was anticipated. It was a basic room with an necessities that our family needed. It's just with the open space they could have utilized it better with maybe an extra couch in there. The breakfast is great and buffet style with hot good options and the bed and even the sofa bed was nice. Would stay again.
