Disliked: Amenities
There aren’t many amenities as far as a pool or fitness room but personally I don’t use these and I rather have a nice room space at a reasonable cost. Did include a large TV, a kitchen and nice large closet. Shower was very strong with immediate hot water. Elevator is not real convenient at the far end of the building but I was on the second floor which was easy to navigate by using the stairs. I would not hesitate to stay there again when I return to the area.

It is a converted militarily barracks and not a fancy hotel. It is very nice inside and I will stay there again. I used the exercise room which also had the laundry machines. That room was plain, but I was working out and didnt need mirrors and fancy equipment. The breakfast had waffles, toast, cereals, scrambled eggs, sausage, fried potatoes, fruit, juice, coffee, etc. It was very good and I could choose what I wanted to eat. The staff were very nice to me.

It was outdated, not really maintained, bare necessities. Both mornings we came down around 7:45 to find no coffee. Nobody around to make more. One day we waited until 8:45 to get more coffee made. Most rooms were left pen on our floor. They were all dirty rooms. The hotel was way understaffed.
