Just ok
It was just ok. The first room they gave us was dirty and the entire floor reeked of someone's cooking. The second room was fine although not the bed type we requested. But was on a different floor that didn't stink. The room was clean and comfortable. The only issue was staff did fill shampoo dispensers in the shower. Front desk staff were VERY VERY friendly and great coffee in the lobby. Price was fine but wouldn't stay again

Very nice place. This was my first stay. I did not realize they did not have free breakfast and that is on me. This has a nice kitchenette and dining table for 2, but the kitchenette does not have any dishes, pans etc. all the cabinets were empty, but dirty inside. I had the single queen bed. The rest of the place was very clean.

We were in a handicapped accessible room per request. The room had lots of moving room however I would prefer a walk-in shower rather than the tub with shower hose. It did have lots of grab bars and I used them all getting in and out of the tub. The beds were low but we understand for people in wheelchairs however with bad knees, a little too low. We appreciated the full- size freig even though we were only there one night. We would definitely stay here again.
