Hotel is really well maintained with a friendly staff. It was clean, great water pressure, hot water, continental breakfast, ac was cold, bed was comfortable, iron, fridge, and microwave in room, and nothing clogged. You can’t ask for anything more for that value.

The ease of location was great. Everything was nearby. We appreciated the customer service. Every day we were greeted with smiles by all the staff. Breakfast simple but good. The cleanliness was great. I didn't know what to expect since it was our first time visiting but we felt welcomed and safe. Parking was also super easy and never an issue. Till next time!

The only suggestion I would make is to have bedside lamps. The only thing I would like to see fixed is greater water pressure in the bathroom sink. It’s only above a trickle.

No breakfast options. They clean up and close down breakfast earlier than 9am along with the front door they close before 10pm which was very inconvenient. We had housekeeping daily which was convenient. It his kind of hidden which I liked but were behind a strip club and got sketchy.

The room was clean and tidy. The customer service was not very good. The breakfast was absolutely awful. And the entire hotel hallways and lobby had a strong odor of spicy food cooking our entire three day stay.
