Our room itself was fantastic, but the lobby and hallways were dominated by overpowering air fresheners. It was nauseating, truly, and I was concerned the room was going to be the same. Luckily, the room was clean and “unscented”, or we wouldn’t have been able to stay.

There was not a microwave in the room… I’m a disabled veteran and couldn’t keep leaving the room just to use the microwave downstairs. There was no way to make copies of documents ( couldn’t even get the front desk to make just one copy for me). The bottles of personal hygiene products were not enough for two people on a 2 night stay. The prices at the front desk were ridiculously high. Overall I would not recommend this location if you need microwave access and a business room for clerical work.

Conveniently located and clean, but thin Walls

Hotel was nice and new. Very Strong smell in hallways. Smelled lik3 carpet cleaner x 100. So if you or your family have odor sensitivity, spend the extra 20 bucks and go elsewhere. Also, paper thin walls. If your a light sleeper then good luck. Comotion outside woke me up several times d3spite being on the 3rd floor. A couple back and forth fighting all night in the parking lot. Inside the hotel was quiet. Everything else was great, but i personaly would not stay again. Not even for the great price.
