we always stay at this hotel and have been happy. This last time was a bit off- Barking dog in the next room the entire time made it disappointing and the whole place smelled like sewer this time which was really weird- we've never ran into that before here. Its always been so clean and great

This hotel was very clean. The initial staff at check-in was very polite. The staff changed at 11 PM was very rude. Breakfast didn’t start till 7 AM and most of the guest staying with us had to be leaving at that time. Nice place to say but rude late shift staff. Not staying here again.
