Place is clean and spacious in a good location. They discontinued breakfast which was a bit if an inconvenience because I didn’t have the time to get breakfast elsewhere. I booked through expedia and it currently says breakfast is included. Not sure if expedia is to blame or the hotel. Had I known breakfast was not an option, I would have planned accordingly.

Our stay was great but they did not offer breakfast, not even continental. And they didn’t have coffee put out till after 8:30 am. But, we slept great on the bed and had a great view.

Will not stay again. Tried calling hotel 3x to confirm a late check in, no answer. Left a message and hours later, I finally got a call. I was literally 20 minutes away, I had better hopes for check in only to be told their elevator was broken and she had to manually close the door. She could barely walk and was clearly annoyed she had to address this issue. Unless this was a ‘bad day’ there needs to be some retraining . Side note: There was no other ADA option for the 3 story building.

Elevator had a wonky sensor, did not work before 8am or after 9pm which made it rough on me (had a stroke and using a walker). Also, we expected breakfast and it really wasn’t. Very disappointing- I have kids and we chose the hotel for and elevator and breakfast.
