Location and nearby amenities are great and the property itself is good. However, the elevator needs to be properly maintained and cleaned. Breakfast is wonderful and the staff is excellent, professional and friendly.

This hotel exceeded our expectations for a one-night stay. There were delicious freshly-baked cookies and popcorn available in the lobby. The breakfast was better than average, with several hot options and also many wrapped snacks like muffins and granola bars. Our room was spacious and comfortable.

The person at the desk said it would be ok to bring our two caged birds into the room. Then at checkout a different person said we would be fined $200 for violating their pet policy

Excellent place.

We were treated excellently. Very friendly and knowledgeable front desk lady. Unfortunately I didn't get her name but she has silver hair. Greeted us told us how to use the pass key, the times for breakfast. That was really good by the way. Room was clean and aa good size with everything you need.. A microwave, small fridge, extra places to put in appliances like lap top computers, no problem with noise either.
