Average hotel stay. Room could use a bit of updating. Bed was extremely uncomfortable. It felt as if you were sleeping right on the metal springs. Air conditioning was loud. Bathroom was outdated and noisy. Breakfast was very limited.

Cozy!

The staff was nice and the bedding was cozy. The continental breakfast was way above average, which is a plus in my book. Parking is free. Free parking, great and also free breakfast and cozy bedding make it a great place to stay!!

Okay stay.

Used the gym. That was great! Front desk clerks were nice! Loved that there was a Starbucks right next door! Pretty quiet at night. No housekeeping services, so had to ask for fresh towels. Breakfast was ok. Other than that, hotel was ok. Would probably stay there again because of the Starbucks and the gym. MAYBE.
