Hotel had bugs. Killed three spiders in a few hours. The room door slammed so hard that it shakes the wall. definitely a safety issue. It hit my son on the shoulders. The room only had three towels for a 4 person stay room booking. When asked for an additional towel the housekeeping definitely made sure we understood her attitude. Told my concerns to front desk and nothing was addressed or noted.

Convenient and Comfortable for a Business Stay

Stayed here for a quick overnight trip for business and it met all the essential needs. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable, with a good workspace and reliable Wi-Fi—perfect for getting work done. Check-in and check-out were efficient, and the staff was courteous and helpful. While it’s not a luxury experience, it was exactly what I needed for a short, productive stay. Convenient location and decent amenities make it a solid choice for business travelers.

Our stay was very nice! Clean, safe and the staff was very friendly. They serve a huge variety of breakfast items and I would like to especially thank Elena the amazing, friendly help in the morning kitchen. She was very helpful and made us feel welcomed and she was very eager to not only help our family she was very attentive to all the guest needs. Five stars for the entire hotel and an extra five stars for Elena!!!
