The staff was very friendly. However, we had to move rooms because the second night our room had no hot water. They moved us to a different room and we had not water but it was a handicap accessible room and the bathtub faucet did not do anything but the shower head and therefore, I couldn’t give my young child a bath.

Yes the hotel and room was very clean. The front desk was very helpful with the parking situation in the area. I'm glad the breakfast started and ended at a later time and check out was also at a later time than most hotels. Everything was very convenient and I got a decent price for the location. Definitely will be booking again in the near future.
