3 ice machine in this hotel at 1 per each floor. 2 of the ice machine were out of service and not working or hotel has no plan on getting this repair. The rest is self explanatory as it goes to show how they really care about your stay.

Great hotel! Breakfast was outstanding, so much to offer along with freshly ground coffee beans brewed for coffee. Beds comfortable and rooms decorated with a minimalist feel. Staff from front desk to breakfast staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. I would have give an excellent rating for every category except the hot tub was not working which was the one thing I was looking forward to enjoying.

OK for a quick stop

This hotel is less than a year old. Cosmetically it looks real godd. But I believe they skimped on building materials. We could hear footsteps and bathroom sounds from next door and above.

Great stay except for smelly pillowcases.

Newly renovated hotel which was very nice. Friendly staff. Negative- 2 pillows we tried to use smelled like they hadn’t changed the pillow cases from previous guests, so that was gross.
