Staff was absolutely amazing. Kind and friendly and always pleasant. The accessible room was very much lacking. The grab bars around the toilet were spaced out of reach. The roll in shower had the accessible seat on the far wall making it totally impossible to reach the shower head from there. The bed was a bit high but very comfortable.

Great hotel for location and free parking. Tight parking spaces and limited at night. Complimentary breakfast was good. Very accommodating staff, great customer service. For the most part the hotel was fairly clean. Small bathrooms in room, not much space. Beds were comfy but thin blankets, had to get a few extra blankets.
