The hotel was clean and the staff responsive to our needs. The breakfast was very nice. Would love to see hard-boiled eggs available at the breakfast. Hotel was well situated next to a lot of different shopping and restaurant choices. Television was impossible to figure out with several remotes and instructions but nothing worked. We ended up not having any TV, which is really not a problem for us, but maybe for others. We would stay there again.

The property was nice, and the area was great I didn't like it, only had 1 elevator, and I was on the fourth floor. If it were to malfunction, walking up 4 floors would be a problem, being 76 years old. The carpet outside the 4th elevator needs to be replaced. The breakfast was ok.

VERY disappointing given our previous stays

From the minute, we stepped into the room it was a strong, musty and moldy odor, and the trim on the bathroom door was rusted through and looked absolutely disgusting

Not terrible but now worth $200 a night for non working pool, no workout room, ice maker didn’t work on our floor, bed mattress was not comfortable. Room had a few issues like shower curtain would not stay put during a shower, tub had some kind of massive repair in it. Also found a large earring in the kids bed, makes me think the sheets were not changed. Breakfast was good, staff was good. Location was great for what we needed.
