Everything was excellent, the bed was extremely comfortable, and it was clean. We requested a crib for our baby, and it arrived perfectly and clean. The breakfast was delicious. We will definitely return to this hotel again.

A Great Stay

I had an excellent experience from my check in to check out. I have to say that first impressions are lasting and I would like to commend Jordan Shapiro for his warmth and kindness, as he could see I was a weary traveler with a bad back and knee. He offered to help me with my luggage and even offered to put me on lower floor to make easier to move around. A very nice employee and asset to your company. I have to say that all employees at this location were great. Friendly and helpful. I had a great stay and have recommended you to all friends and family to stay at your location if the need arises. Thank you.

A few complaints are they have the cheapest thinnest toilet paper and tissues and the tub was filling with water the entire time we took showers. Any housekeeper that’s cleaning would notice that and take care of it. You want to feel clean and you are standing in a half tub of dirty water. No fresh fruit, yogurt, eggs, etc. Breakfast was processed food and spoiled bananas all 3 days. Staff were very nice!!!!
