The helpfulness of the duty manager was comendable as above and beyond expectations. When the renovations are completed, the property will increase in value given it's location. All employees we met were cheerful and engaged, reflecting wonderful managememt.

This property is under construction and the interior is not in any condition to have guests. I checked and and then left 10 minutes later. The hallway carpet was filthy and the rooms were run down, dark and obviously being prepped for painting etc. with chips everywhere and spackling all over the walls. I wouldnt have booked this property if i had known the current state. I moved to a nearby hotel.

It was so quiet and calm and very little, if any noise from outside could be heard. The complimentary breakfast was simple, yet delicious. Staff in charge of the small kitchen were most polite and very professional and always was quite helpful, should a person require any assistance or help with actually anything, they tried to help each of us in a special way.

The people that work here were absolutely amazing. They went out of their way to help. Unfortunately the hotel was being renovated and it was a total mess. Our carpet was wet the whole entire time. The elevator was broken part of the time. It was just really old and does need updating.
