Property was average. Weekend front desk person was rude and didn’t like to be bothered. Lots of construction around the area, so it was a little noisy. Nothing the property can do about that. Website says free made to order breakfast, it’s a traditional hotel buffet. Property was average and what is to be expected for the price.

Beds were comfortable. Can tell they are working to keep up condition of place. Not having a lobby elevator was difficult but at least our car was parked near the garage elevator. Bar was disappointing.

The staff were very friendly and professional. Breakfast was very good. This is an older hotel which room doors open to the breezeway, this can lead to some concerns when other guests are noisy or are not considerate.

If I'm being honest. The staff was super friendly and the room was clean. However, the pictures don't really reflect the condition of the property. In addition, noise was very loud. You could hear everything through the walls - upstairs, downstairs, outside of your window. It was a little hard to sleep.
