We didn't eat at the hotel, but we did like that they had fresh, free coffee in the lobby. The room was clean and comfortable, but there were no hooks in the bathroom, and no mirror besides the one over the bathroom sink. For ME the bed was hard and lumpy, but the a/c was cold and quiet. All of the staff were very helpful and friendly, especially De'Jon.

I didn’t like that it took too long to check in. to check out was faster and easier. The outside it’s dirty and smells bad, and the inside of the hotel was clean, one thing they need to change is the bathroom door & it needs a lock. No privacy

I requested a room with the city view and we got a room with a window and couldn’t see anything out of the window but the hotel rooms across the street. We couldn’t see anything else. We were not satisfied with the room at all.
