The hotel was clean and also had wonderful staff members. I wish the contenintal breakfast had more items to choose from though, was sort of small. Our room was decent, but only down side was it was facing the intersection so a little loud, and also the random freight trains that went by early in the morning. My husband and I would definitely stay there again and maybe it would be finished with the remodel..

Expedia’s depiction of this property is highly misleading! It’s torn apart and I didn’t learn it until it was too late to get a refund. No breakfast room, no pool, no whirlpool. TV in room didn’t work. Toilet wouldn’t flush. Constructive everywhere. I have stayed here yearly for 10 years. Never again.

The breakfast area was under construction but they set up a grab and go breakfast with lots of delicious options. Every staff member we interacted with was super friendly and helpful! The gym was also great and had plenty of free weights, cardio options, and extra accessories.

The external parts look a little weird right now, and the pool is closed because it's under construction. But the room was freshly renovated and very comfy. The rooms are small as far as I can tell, as it is a small hotel and it is in a very high demand area. But for the size it was lovely. And perfect for my needs. Very very clean and comfortable Very very clean

I found the accomodations adequate ... it met my need for a one night stay. Thought the shower tile floor could be cleaner. And, at 4:00 AM their was a mechanical noise that would last about 15 seconds and repeat ever two or three minutes. Sounded like a water value.

While the room and staff were wonderful, I wish I would have known the hotel was under construction. Pool and hot tub were closed. That would have been a game changer. How bout a set of pillows? Helen
