Very Good

Decent clean hotel for an overnight on the road. Basic breakfast but checks the requirement. Lots of good food options around the hotel for dinner.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was pleasant although a little small, comfy bed. Breakfast was adequate. There was no elevator and the stairs were worn out and not very well kept. Pricey compared to other properties we stayed at on our cross country trip, but low for that area.
Breakfast only had boiled eggs for protein. Compared to the cooked sausage and eggs we received from previous hotels. Another issue we had is that there was no trash can in the hotel room.
Breakfast was good. Room wasn’t the best. Definitely need some improvements. Room had some damp smell to it. There wasn’t enough ventilation. Bathroom fan was too loud and bathtub curtain smelled bad too. Cleanliness was 2 out of 10 for the room and we saw two big spiders as well in the room during our stay.
I was simply impressed with this hotel . Excellent location; walking distance to a lot of different shopping stores and restaurants. Staff were very friendly and I love how they always kept water ; coffee and tea available at the lobby for free.
