Room was fine but during our first evening we felt like we were on the street as the noise was very loud. We saw the front desk and they changed our room to a more inward location which made a difference. Thank you for attentive and prompt service.

Staff was cordial. Carpet in the room was vacuumed but stained. Small portions of the carpet near the bed were sticky. Coffee machine in breakfast lounge said it needed cleaning. Generally expect better maintenance and care at this expense level.
