The staff were all friendly and the hotel was comfortable except for the bugs. Immediately killed one roach on arrival and a second one within the first hour. Saw a few more before we checked out.

Hotel is very clean. Customer services very accommodating and willing. Only odd thing is front desk being on the phone for personal calls. You can hear it upstairs because of the open lobby however, I would definitely stay there again.

The hotel was clean but had no character. The decor was simple. The breakfast wasn’t good. The eggs were preheated in the microwave in front of the guests

This was the first hotel we have ever stayed in that didn't have a coffee pot in the room. I assume because they have coffee available in the lobby 24 hours. It was still strange having to go down stairs for my first cup of coffee. All the staff we interacted with where very friendly. Property was clean. Over all it was a typical hotel stay.

Sadly breakfast on a Saturday ended at 9am so we missed this benefit. Newer property, nice building, very specious room and bathroom. Not many dinning options close by. Allowed us to check in several hours early without any hassle
