Overall, property condition was good, location was acceptable. House Cleaning personnel friendly. Breakfast selection and offering was at best mediocre. Oatmeal was watered down and cold. It served its purpose for our stay, but we would not stay at this location in the future.

The desk staff was amazing! She put us in a quiet spot on the 3rd floor!! We were beyond exhausted when we arrived so we appreciated her finding us the perfect spot. However, the bathroom had probably not been cleaned before and the sink drain was plugged up. Took 10 min or so to drain. Breakfast was ok.
