Super-friendly front desk staff. There was a trash can in our room that was not emptied, I called front desk staff and the young lady was very apologetic for the inconvenience. Large laundry room, clean gym and quiet property located in a business center.

This was a girls getaway from the family. We wanted a nice quiet hotel. That’s exactly what we got! Very clean and the front desk was so helpful and although we came early for check in, the front desk was so accommodating and was able to get us a room early. We were able to nap and enjoy what amenities they had. We did not use the gym but the gym looked brand new along with the laundry services and there were kitchen applicances that you could borrow as well. Overall, very nice stay, thank you. It’s hidden in the back of other small business. There’s nothing around the hotel to walk too. A block down, there is a small shopping center for food but not walking distance with little kids. I’d say it’s a hotel for business travelers.

Ummm.. it’s an older hotel with a fresh makeover…. But you could still see something’s didn’t blend well with old and the new. The room had a smell but once we had the ac going it went away. The hotel served its purpose on having a safe place to stay.

Overall the property was clean. Good laundry room. But rooms were stunk pretty bad.. 3 out of 4 rooms that I had stunk. And the carpet was stained in 2 of them . 1 rooms sink was broken. Another rooms toilet was broken.. Luggage carts were filthy. Because of this I'm shocked it is considered a 3 star hotel.
