The staff are great. Quiet even though close to the street. They provide only basic breakfast. No bacon or sausage. But overall good for the price we paid. Very convenient location.

Staff very courteous. Rooms clean and warm. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Quiet for a Saturday night. Nice breakfast.
The Hotel is larger the most hotels in the city and clean for the most part but could use some upgrades.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was nice price for room was decent but dessert at the hotel bar/restaurant was overpriced for a pie that came out of a box and a scoop of ice cream.
Hotel was clean just super outdated decor
Room was great, staff great. Only complaint was hot tub was out of commission which was one big reason why I picked this hotel. Other than that, stay was great.

Room was clean and welcoming staff very friendly and helpful.
Bathroom tub area and ceiling could use a little repair. Besides that, the breakfast was fair and the room was clean. It was very close to the interstate. Lobby, seating areas, pool and hot tub looked like they were well maintained. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
