Front desk lady was nice and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. Pool was open and the gym had some equipment like free weights, treadmill. The breakfast was cereal, bagels, yogurt, fruit, coffee/tea- no hot bar type stuff if that's what your looking for. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

The room was comfortable. The lobby and hallways were clean. The gentleman at the counter the night we checked in, and the lady the following evening, were both SUPER helpful and friendly. The lady at the counter during checkout was less than friendly and seemed very put off by having to speak with me. Other than that specific instance, it was a pleasant experience overall.

Took too long to check in and we were the only ones at the desk. After 1/2 hour wait, finally went to room on first floor facing main road. Brutal with noise from traffic and construction and always had to keep curtains closed for privacy. In the morning for continental breakfast, we had an early day out and most bins were already empty.

The hotel is under some kind of construction. When we arrived we were informed for that the elevator was broken, the ice machine was broken, we had no hot water in our shower, and the building was in poor condition. What we paid for this stay was robbery. The only reason this hotel kept Our business is because there's nothing else near. Avoid this place if you can.

I never stayed there. I had a reservation to stay but when i arrived I was told they cancelled my reservation because the card was invalid when they tried to run my card prior to my arrival. First the clerk said the hotel is completely booked, then came back and tried to sell me the same room more than what was reserved. The manager was call and was told they could not honor the price i was given. So i had to find another hotel. A couple of days later the hotel charged me the cost of the room with the same card they claimed was invalid. How could that happen when they claimed to cancel my reservation.
