The furniture in the room was very old and worn. Room itself was adequate, bathroom was clean and well stocked with amenities. Was surprised by the $200 security deposit that was not mentioned when booking the room. Parking and ev charging were very convenient.

First off, big thanks to the awesome Manager that accomodated my very early check in. Room was very, very clean, bed is so soft and comfortable. Love it that you also have a microwave! Breakfast is okay but coffee was great. I wish you have extra toiletries tho and slippers. But overall I enjoyed my stay and will definitely come back

Great stay!

Great stay!Clean rooms amd comfortable beds. There was a bit of wear on lamp shades in the bathroom, the gym was only a bike and elliptical, and there was no water avaliable at breakfast but those were all minor things. Overall it was a lovely stay and the staff were all very nice. Will stay and again and recommend.

On the afternoon of the second day I couldn’t find my key in the 17 zippers of my backpack and purse so I slipped into the waiting area of the hotel. As I sat down my phone rang; it was AI charge inquiry from my bank. The desk clerk began badgering me for my name. I pointed to the phone and held up a finger for him to wait until I completed my call. He began raising his voice to tell me I had to be a registered guest to sit in my chair. I again pointed to my phone.. When I completed my call I gave him my name and sure enough I was a registered guest. I am 60+ lady, well groomed and clean. I am a Commercial Realtor coming from work. This guy needs a different job.

This establishment lacks basic services such as a computer and printer for check in and printing boarding passes. The breakfast was disappointing, as the food was the same every day without variety.
