Hotel was clean, bed linens very comfy. Staff friendly and helpful. Lobby was a tad noisy in the morning because doors to second floor were not closed (not sure why) made sound travel upward and right to our room. Breakfast was definately better than others I've had at hotel. Good place to stay.

We enjoyed our time at the property, it was nice clean and the breakfast was good! The front office staff was pleasant and informative. We thought the beds and linens were extra comfortable! The only problem we had was with the tv, we could not cast or stream any app. That was unfortunate but overall we would stay there again😊

The hotel is currently being renovated, but construction did not take away from my trip. My room was 10 out of 10 clean and quiet. My only complaint is that Saturday and Sunday morning housekeeping started making rounds and knocking on doors at 8:30 in the morning, which is too early for me.
