Perfect for what I needed. A clean room and comfortable bed. Hotel is older but maintained well. The room was huge with two TV’s and separate sitting area. Exactly what you would expect from a mid-level hotel.

The receptionist was beyond amazing and extremely kind. I don't leave reviews but after the amazing treatment that was received, I had to. We travel quite a bit and this was by far the best treatment/welcoming we have ever received.
