The building and facilities were well maintained. The room was also clean and functional. The only negative was trying find the building. Itcwas not well marked, and difficult to find. We would have missed it without gps.

Property is very clean. Staff is very friendly. Breakfast was pretty good the first day (waffles scrambled eggs bacon sausage links biscuits gravy cold cereal toast bagels juices, yogurt fruit) not so good the second day.. scrambled eggs were very watery. Beds we're not very comfortable. They are very hard and can almost feel the springs.

Good value

Hotel was very clean, comfortable and breakfast selection was good. Check in person appeared to be more appropriate for a non customer service type of position instead of greeting customers

The front desk personnel were excellent. The hot items for breakfast were horrible. First impressions on the outside of the hotel were not good. A serious facelift is needed for the outside of the hotel and areas around it. Promotional photos could almost be considered false advertising as they don’t match the actual property.
