Loved the location! Our bathroom was not as clean as one would like. Even after letting the front desk know the situation, nothing was done. We bought Clorox wipes and cleaned it ourselves. When we told the manager our problem she reduced our rate—we would have much preferred a clean bathroom to begin with.

Solid Choice

Great location, nice size rooms and comfy beds but all needs a little updating. The restaurant, not affiliated with the hotel, was open on our way down but closed for breakfast on our return trip. Decent place just down the block to eat but so nice to have the convenience to eat in the hotel. Staff is efficient and pleasant. Quiet location.

Stay here.

The property and front desk were wonderful. I might suggest that management spruce up the door staff. More than once they ignored my hello and watched as my wife struggled with a heavy door. Details matter
