Nice simple hotel. Nice elevators. Great luggage cart. Nice breakfast with all sorts of food for every type of diet. I didn’t see anyone refilling things but it was ready right on time. Great shower, nice hot water with good pressure. After traveling 40 straight days I pay attention to everything.

New facility, very clean, friendly staff, great amenities, and one of the best continental breakfasts I've had. The ONLY issue was that every day my key card wouldn't let me back in to the building at any of the outside doors with my elderly dog so we had to walk around the building to the lobby and get issued a new card everyday, but they are working on it.
