The hotel is huge in size compared to others but it probably needs an update. Breakfast was okay. It is not a buffet but they provide food portion on a plate/box. It is clean but you can smell the chemicals used to clean the room.

Easy check-in & out, a OK breakfast (a little bit greasy for me), no parking fees, a rental car office in the same location. All those services when considering the room rate I received were more than good. I’ll choose this hotel again.

At the check in I was assigned a room which was not ready and I have to go back to the front desk to have another room where I heard some remodeling noise from the next door but that ended before 5pm. That’s the only thing I want to mention but other than that, I’m OK.

My main issue is the grossest smelling towel when arriving to our room. 2nd issue that we learned is extended stay location have a weird environment Our Room smelled musty and the room just have a very weird vibe compared to the pictures online, onsite feels old. As a guy I dont have an issue where I stay, but when my lady doesnt feel comfortable with the location, have to find a new hotel to stay. Don’t care if they decline to refund/credit. It is what it is. Live and learn

Our stay was good , this was a last minute emergency stay and the parking was a little inconvenient due to no available parking after 11:30pm. The room was great and very clean , we loved the set up and the ample space. Very comfortable. The only thing that possibly need an upgrade is on Tv. Very small TVs and outdated we couldn’t reach our apps to possibly streamline movies , maybe update rooms with smart TVs . Other than that our stay was good and will definitely return or recommend. Thank you again

Recommendation but

This is an older hotel that’s been well kept very nice large room very clean and comfortable with all the usual modern amenities. The price was OK. I would definitely stay here again. I guess if I had to get it a negative it would be the young man at the front desk Even though he was friendly his friendliness was fake. It was very obvious to see they had no fresh coffee which nine out of 10 hotels I’ve ever stayed at has fresh coffee I asked to borrow a USB charger Iknow that every hotel has a box full of them. He could not oblige me. He said I had to buy one so much for hospitality. We’ll see how the breakfast is tomorrow, but all in all I would recommend this place

We had a good stay! Staff was very friendly and helpful especially since we didn’t arrive until 1 am. Parking is tough. Two of the nights we got back later at night and parking was full. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. The shower head was the worst part.
