The hotel was fair. There was a terrible odor coming out of the sink drain. And the bed was very uncomfortable.

I was a little disappointed. Based on the reviews I read I expected more. Positive: The staff was very nice. Not so positive: Room was not cleaned to my standards (found parts of pretzels and crumbs on the floor), lightbulbs burned out on some lamps in the room, Continental breakfast ok. The hotel was not in the best of neighborhoods but not so bad that I felt unsafe. Overall, it was only for one night and served it’s purpose to being close to where we had to go for our event.
