The location is very good and the hotel is nice. We wish it had a pool and better way to keep noisy party folk quiet-- but that was only one night. Staff was very welcoming. Definitely would use again.

We checked in around 6pm and front desk is not welcoming and the room we got is the Ac unit is full of dust and working even the exhaust in bathrooms wasn't working. When reported to same front desk person about the issue she just gave other room keys without any proper response. The rooms are very compact. The GYM is Zero rating on scale 0 to 10. Don't call it as Fitness room.

My main complaint was the fitness room. There was a broken treadmill, an elliptical machine, and a recumbent bike. Plus, a very noisy fan. Other than that, the place was pretty clean, breakfast was decent, and the room was comfortable.

We stayed one night at the hotel. Check in was easy and quick. The hotel has three floors, so it was easy and fast to take the stairs, although there is an elevator. Shower was nothing fancy which I appreciated. Some hotels modernize the showers so much you need an engineering degree to figure out how it works. Bed was clean and soft. People across the hall had loud music blaring but we could not hear anything in our room. I liked that there was a sign indicating quiet hours between 11pm-6am. There is free parking in front of the hotel but spaces are a little tight for SUVs and trucks. We had a good stay here.

Was OK. Construction was underway. Breakfast room and options very good (best part about the hotel). Worst was the parking lot. Can barely fit into the tiny spaces (everyone over the lines), and no overflow into the HUGE SHOPPING CENTER LOT 100 feet away. Just ridiculous. For the lot alone I would not go back. I worried the whole night as to whether a huge SUV was going to try and squeeze into the spots next to me and bash my car.

I was a little disappointed. Based on the reviews I read I expected more. Positive: The staff was very nice. Not so positive: Room was not cleaned to my standards (found parts of pretzels and crumbs on the floor), lightbulbs burned out on some lamps in the room, Continental breakfast ok. The hotel was not in the best of neighborhoods but not so bad that I felt unsafe. Overall, it was only for one night and served it’s purpose to being close to where we had to go for our event.

All of this while it was 1am and I had a toddler and a pregnant wife walking around the hotel trying to figure this out.

We were given a room that hadn’t been cleaned yet, which front desk quickly got us into a new one, and the breakfast attendant was very rude. Would not even turn around to answer my question, and then snapped at another customer when he asked if there was any cream cheese, she responded without even turning around if we had it it would be out. We ended up leaving half way during the breakfast.
