Good value, but short of excellent
The suite floor plan was great, as was having two TVs, a full size fridge, and a kitchenette. As this is an older property, it's starting to show its age. The staff was very friendly and helpful, but the desk clerk at checkout was also performing housekeeping chores...hire more help! Complaints are few...there was no bar soap (front desk said their supply truck had been delayed 3 times), and the shower attached bottle for body wash was empty. Also, if you're looking for the ice bucket and cups, they're kept hidden away in a kitchen cabinet!

Wouldn’t stay again.

No soap for the rooms??
Large executive room for a great price. Very much enjoyed the facilities and layout. However, for some reason, there was no soap for the sink or the shower. The front desk had no soap available. I thought this was a standard amenity.
