Selected this hotel because we could get a 1 bedroom suite with 2 queen beds, which met our family's needs. The staff were great, very friendly and helpful. The room was a bit worn and had window-units for air conditioning but was clean, and the beds were comfortable and had nice soft sheets. The elevators made strange noises but we never got stuck. :)

Great location. Room spacious and clean. Bed and pillows very comfortable. Staff friendly. We didn’t use any amenities. I wish breakfast went until 10 especially for a Sunday. It was done by 9:30 so we didn’t get a chance to eat at the hotel before getting on the road.
