We enjoyed our 3 night stay. Breakfast was great, staff were all friendly and helpful. Our room was nice and clean and the housekeeping team did a wonderful job. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was because of the smell in the hallways and the fact that the building could use a pick me up/renovation. I would stay here again!
