Good stay with good price

The hotel has been recently remodeled and very nice. All the employees we interacted with were extremely helpful and attentive to any requests. It was a really hot weekend and the AC in our room couldn’t keep the room cool. They were very accommodating to get us a different room.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room had a weird smell that never went away. The front desk lady was very friendly and answered all of our questions. The room was advertised as having a morning breakfast-they had nothing but coffee. When I asked the gal about the breakfast and coffee her response was "negative", I'm guessing that meant there will not be any! I would not recommend spending $150 a night to stay here!
