My room could not get an Internet connection. I was told that they need to get a booster which they don’t have yet. This is not acceptable.

Fantastic breakfast!! Nice lobby and rooms, hallways felt very dated and kind of dingy. Updating the hallways would go very far. Doesn’t impact your stay, just the feel of the hotel. If your room is close to the highway you will hear it at night.

Our experience was great! Breakfast was really Good and attendants were super helpful. Only complaint was that our room was supposed have a sofa bed and it Turned out to only be a sofa. And the air was a little hard to control. Otherwise, it was great. Definitely go back!!

Great for a short trip

A decent budget-friendly hotel for a one night stay. Check in was super easy. The hotel clearly was built a long time ago but they've done well trying to update it as much as possible. Room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The complimentary breakfast had everything you needed to get a full meal in the morning. I wish the AC units were updated to allow more control over the temperature. Ours went off overnight (we could not set the temp any lower) and we could hear our neighbors being noisy all night. Having the AC on would have drowned them out and helped me sleep better. I did try to call the front desk but the phone was broken as was the alarm clock. Overall, a good stay. Ample free parking as well.

We had a one night stay to attend a graduation. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly. When we got to elevators there was a very strong, unpleasant odor. I was dreading going up to the room and having to smell that all night. Luckily there wasn't an odor in the room. The room was clean and had nice hot water! I think signs around the facility indicated they were doing some remodeling. Hopefully they will change the carpets in entryway and halls. Other than the odor it was a good stay.

Nice beverage amenities make for a comfortable

Pros: The service was good. The bed was comfortable and pillows were soft. I loved the free water dispense in the lobby and the free coffee dispenser which had regular and decaf versions of assorted coffee drinks and also hot chocolate. The hotel breakfast was good — mini cheese omelette, potatoes, pork sausage and turkey sausage, cereals, yoghurt, bread including bagels for toast, and my favorite was the frosted waffle which was really good warmed up in the toaster. They did start putting the breakfast away at 9:30. Con’s: freeway noise, 1 blanket had a burn hole/tear in it Overall very good and we will return.
