I give my stay 5 stars, BUT this is at best a 3 star hotel. It’s an older building they’ve put lipstick on. Having said that, if you need something that’s decent, it fits the bill and is very easy to get to off the highway. Older reviews mentioned bad drainage in the bathtubs, I was on 9th floor, it was good. Staff I interacted with was friendly. Breakfast buffet is a decent value if you get the discount and buy after you check in. The hotel price was sort of expensive for what you did get… but the parking was free so that basically offset the higher room price. Ac was ice cold and the room was quiet. Overall, I’d come back again.

The room was clean and comfortable. The service i the dining area was exceptional and breakfast was great with a lot of selections. I'd recommend having dinner there as well. The food was good and was less expensive than surrounding restaurants. Beyond that, the service was great.

Enjoyable

I had the chance to stay on the 10th floor, so the view was nice. The room was big and clean and the bed was very confortable. The bathroom is a little tired though, as well as the rug in the hallway. But otherwise, my stay was enjoyable.

Great place for families! Breakfast buffet is extra. Kids eat free but it’s fake eggs and bacon. Pool was excellent, as were food trucks and small restaurants around the block. Would definitely stay there again!
