Lovely time
Stayed here for 4 days and 3 nights traveling from out of town with some friends. Check-in was very smooth and easy (shout out to Angel). The rooms were clean and the beds were so comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised. Not sure what detergent they use but it makes their sheets and blankets smell so fresh and clean. I like how their pillows are labeled one for soft and one for firm. I also appreciated the toilet and shower being separate from the sink because it allowed us to do different things at the same time. Microwave in the room was awesome. Fridge - not as awesome. Didn’t get cold. Their ice machine dispenses the good ice so that balanced it out. They also have snack items and drinks for you to purchase next to the check in the desk. My friends all woke up early enough for the continental breakfast and they really liked the variety. The entrance from the street is interesting because there’s only one way in and out but overall a very centralized location that was close to everything we needed. Would recommend staying here.

Great stay!
Very clean and organized hotel. My room was very quiet, neat and the staff were very hospitable. They do service breakfast which was fresh and good each morning of my stay. This hotel does have a $100 deposit which is refundable. There is a a very small gym on site and laundry facilities as well.

The room was mostly clean and comfortable. I did find a few dark hairs in my sheets. (not mine, I'm blonde). There are quite a few places to eat and shop in the area. There was a small continental breakfast in the morning; better than nothing. Overall, a comfortable stay.

Overall it was a nice hotel I liked how they had shampoo and conditioner in the restroom nicest hotel I’ve gone to so far. I didn’t like that the curtain shade didn’t go all the way up so i couldn’t sleep past 6am. Another issue I had was the whole room smelled like bleach from the blanket and pillows the smell was pretty strong was kinda hard to sleep with.
