The hotel is in great shape, though the cleanliness can use tightening up. The best part about my stay was the Front Desk Staff. Eva was special when I checked in and the young lady working on the morning shift was pleasant. She gave me a great impression that the staff enjoy working there. And that's what hotel experiences should be.
