Low water pressure in the shower. No exhaust fan in the bathroom. Really, you've been building hotels forever and you don't put an exhaust fan in the bathroom. Also the mattress was overly firm. What I need in a hotel is a good mattress and a decent shower. But it was conveniently located.

I would like to express my appreciation for the exceptional service I received during my recent stay at the hotel. I encountered an issue with my reservation made through Expedia, specifically regarding the inclusion of breakfast, which unfortunately did not appear in their system. However, the gentleman at the front desk was incredibly patient and attentive, promptly resolving the matter for me. I am grateful for his assistance, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. Thank you for providing such a positive experience.

The location is excellent. The staff was friendly and the rooms were cleaned well. The only issues we had is that the heating unit sounded like an airplane taking off every time it turned on and the outlet under the tv kept needing to be reset. Once maintenance unplugged the refrigerator, the outlet seemed to work. Sounds like an electrical problem that needs to be fixed.

Front desk rep was rude and snobby. The rooms were not clean, bathrooms not clean and don’t have a ventilation. Games ad about breakfast that was supposed to be included. Apparently, you have to purchase a voucher for like 30 dollars per person to eat breakfast at the hotel. Parking is not included, the hotel charges $50 for parking.

Great experience. I even received a text after check in to ask me how my stay was going. It was wonderful, that they contact you informally, to see if you need anything. I would stay here again, whenever I visit again.
