The room was great with the kitchen area. Breakfast was great! Room was spacious. Our first night there was no room in the parking garage so we had to park in the hospital lot across the street, however parking there was slightly cheaper than at the hotel.

There's no place to park to check-in. It is nice to have parking nearby. Staff took care of requests. Breakfast okay. But no lactose-free option. Bed comfortable. Room big. Loved the view from the 9th floor. Quiet. Great location.

It looks like it underwent renovations recently. It is a nicely designed, decorated and spacious hotel room with plenty of space. We loved that it had a kitchenette with a full size refrig and microwave too. the gym is a nice size with good quality equipment. We didn't eat there so cannot speak to the quality of the food. While I found the bed somewhat uncomfortable, admittedly, I do have back pain issues. Despite that, I would still recommend this hotel.

I booked a king, only had a double. Only thing said was “sorry”. Wifi was to laggy, tv wouldn’t even play properly. Said breakfast, no breakfast. Said pool, no pool… under renovation… I am a general contractor, there is no renovation taking place visibly, it’s all open and just closed. Under staffed maybe, not under renovation taking place to render said services.
