I've stayed at this location a few times, and never disappointed. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. This time, they actually called my room to make sure everything was good with the room! A pleasant surprise. Rooms are always clean...beds are comfy. I've never tried their breakfast so i can't comment on that. Highly recommend this location

When I arrived I had to wait at a locked front door carrying a suit bag and back pack for 5 minutes as there was nobody to answer the intercom. It took a prolonged time to check in and then when I got to my room there was a new SmartTV but it wouldn't display regular TV. Nobody was trained on the new TV's so I was moved to a new room. The Manager was going to call me today but nobody has called. The staff would not call the manager last night at 10:30 as it was "too late". I will not stay here again.
