I enjoyed the convenience of the location in relation to the location I visited. The staff was not very talkative but friendly upon check-in. I liked the coffee at the lobby available 24 hours as well as the 24 hour fitness room.

Disliked: Amenities
The only things I wish were better was that the tv didn’t have but like 10 channels and you couldn’t stream anything, the pool had no warmer so it was freezing, and the ice machine wasn’t working on the only floor available. Other than that the staff was friendly and the room was clean. Not sure if it’s enough to make us want to come back however. Thank you for the positives.

I would stay here again

We stayed in a 2 queen room. Bed was slightly firmer than I like but still comfortable. 4 pillows... I love lots of pillows! The bathroom was large with a double size vanity. The bathroom had plug outlets on both sides of the vanity in the wall. (Don't see that too often). Breakfast was decent. They had fried eggs, breakfast sausage, hashbrown potatoes along with pastries and cereal. We did not use the pool but they did have an indoor pool. No hot tub. Hotel was clean and welcoming. Plenty of on site parking. Overall I liked our stay and would stay here again.

Everything about the property and surroundings was terrific--quiet, clean, good cost, etc. The only drawback was the lack of breakfast options.
