This was a decent stay for the weekend. The room may need some renovations in the future such as with the ceiling tiles the breakfast bar had an OK selection. Would stay again.

Had a problem with the AC of the room not cooling. So we were sweaty the whole night while we are sleeping. Breakfast was supposed to be available at 6AM but they start opening at almost 8AM. You have to make your own pancake too which is why the line in the breakfast area was too long.
You could easily hear everything in the hallway/neighboring rooms. Windows wouldn't lock (my room was first floor). Breakfast was supposed to open at 6 but wasn't available until after 7.
Good location and reasonable price for a clean room and all you need if your just staying a night or two. I would book this hotel again.

Minimal outlets for electronics. Clean comfortable bed and bedding, shower water was not hot. Free breakfast was not good, poor quality. Next time I’m in the area, I will pay more for a better stay.
