I was very disappointed that we did not get room cleaning at all over our 3 day stay. We had to go get coffee pods, towels and anything else we needed in the room. I'd of thought that at least we should have had fresh towels, trash pick and beds made for the cost of the rooms per night.

Everything was clean, staff was friendly. Very nice inside. Outside, parking was a major issue. The only area not parked full had screws from the remodel all over the pavement. I picked up many. The parking garage had half the slots filled with remodel junk. A better organized remodel could alleviate some of this issue. Doubt I would stay here again.

Fantastic Stay!

The hotel was super clean and the room I had was recently updated. I had plenty of room for myself and my belongings. I was able to unpack on my first day for easy access during my stay. The bathroom had shelves! And a light right in the roomy tub/shower. There were no strange smells and the best was so comfortable, I wanted to bring it home.
