Breakfast was great, rooms clean and everything was really nice, only problem we had was they had 3 elevators and only 1 worked. Having 7 floors meant it took such a long time to get to room or to leave. But other then that was a great place

Best breakfast! I like the simplicity of the rooms because I feel like they are easier to keep clean (minimal furniture, hard-surface flooring, etc.) and the lobby area with the bar was always lively.

The lobby area was great for our purposes. We meet with family that lived locally in the hotel lobby and they were very supportive of our being there. There was a $12.00 charge for overnight parking on the hotel lot that was unexpected.

They need to improve their service. Check-in is scheduled for 3:00 p.m., and even though we arrived at the hotel at 5:00 p.m., the room wasn't ready, and we had to wait until 6:30 p.m. to get in. However, the delay wasn't compensated in any way even though we asked to check out a little later, it was denied. We asked twice for the used towels to be replaced and received no service.
