My stay here has been wonderful. While I was here, the hotel upgraded my room with a new bed and furniture, which made me feel like royalty. I also want to give special recognition to one of the housekeepers, an older Hispanic lady whose name I unfortunately can’t recall. She was incredibly kind, personable, and thorough—she made my stay feel comfortable and cared for. The combination of great service and the effort the hotel puts into making guests feel valued really stood out to me. Thanks!

The matress in our room was completely worn out; the room did not have a smoke detector; the walls of the building are thin and we could hear our neighbors conversations. I would not stay here again.

Nice room setup

Great room. Helpful maids. Easy parking. My only complaint, there was toilet water on the bathroom floor, the first time I used it. I thought it was a leak, but no. It was just there for some reason. Also, if a place serves breakfast, I think they should start early, for those in town for work, and not just travelers passing thru.
