Stayed a few times before. Friendly front staff. Those times was a Good bkft, real eggs. This visit, bath towels were not clean (hairs on all), floors sticky, breakfast meats were undercooked and no bananas. Not as good as before. Hot water (reservoir container issue?) was not clear and had to ask for that. Again, staff very accommodating. Ice inconvenient on 3 rd floor. May reconsider next trip.

The property behind the hotel wasn’t very safe especially at night. The staff was great and the hotel was very clean. The breakfast buffet had a good variety of options. The hot food was hot and the staff kept the buffet clean. They offered free 16 oz bottled water 24 hours. I would definitely stay at this hotel again!
