Everything was good except the tub drainage was really slow, there was no microwave in the room and I wish there was more breakfast options. Breakfast was only bagels, coffee, cold boiled eggs and no tea. This place is decent for short stays.

I had a great stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. It was also very convenient ,easy to get around and close to plenty of restaurants, stores, and other attractions. The only downside was the breakfast it was more of a light continental spread with muffins, bagels, granola bars, and coffee.so not the hearty breakfast I was expecting. Still, overall, a great experience, and I would stay again!

The room itself was fairly clean as far as the bathrooms and the beds/sheets go. I felt the carpet in the room could have been cleaner. The outside appearance of the hotel was surprising as when we initially pulled into the parking lot, we thought it was abandoned. the parking lot was overgrown with weeds and just looked very rundown. Thankfully the inside of the hotel looked differently, The only other inconvenience of our stay was there was only 1 working elevator at the time so that was frustrating at times. The price and location was great thought. Possibly would stay here again.
