The staff was kind and friendly. Parking was a breeze, the location of the hotel is an easy walk to many main areas of the city. The rooms were clean and had helpful accommodations in the kitchen. Within the junior apartment there was a microwave, sink, fridge, plates, cups, utensils,coffee machine, saucepan, toaster, and a two burner gas stove. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will gladly return.

The location is great however our room faced the street that meant we heard every siren, every horn, every car engine all night long. Our mattress was horrible, sank in the middle and felt every coil on our back. When we asked for a different mattress we were told there weren’t any available yet they said we could pack all of our stuff up and switch rooms. How they couldn’t switch mattresses with an empty room is beyond me. Also we were told we had a $10 credit to use at a snack station adjacent to the front desk. That would’ve been nice if there were actually snacks…all that was there were a couple of pretzels bags and a bag of Doritos and a Red Bull. It’s not like we got those $10 back yet there was nothing to use those $10 on. I would’ve expressed my opinion of the room at checkout however the person at the front desk didn’t even look at us or ask us about our stay. Just printed our receipt and not even a goodbye. Would NOT stay here again.
