We had a great stay in March. The bed was incredibly comfortable!! It was quiet the entire night and breakfast was great in the morning. Very easy access to plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby if needed. We will definitely be staying again when visiting our daughter at school.

Nice, but very little sleep

The overall stay was fine. However, the mini-fridge was so loud that we actually had to sleep with the tv on. Everything else was great, but that one thing made for a very long night.

Won’t return

Cleanliness has declined drastically since last year when I stayed here for the first time. Will not return, bathroom looked clean at a glance, but it was not. Hotel is too newly remodeled to already have since build up in the corners and behind things like the sinks faucet. Grout on tile filthy.
