Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Short answer: Would stay again for a short trip.
Long answer: For the total price, continental breakfast, safe feeling/reviews of the area, and it only being a one night stay it was good enough for us. We got a regular room with a king bed which was good but surprisingly small, no big deal. However we felt the shower didn’t look super great so we didn’t want to use it. And the breakfast had good variety for the most part but not great if you got the eggs and meat.
Stayed on a weeknight and the hotel was definitely not fully booked, so there were lots of rooms they could have put me in. They put me in the room across from the gym and staff work area. I came it after midnight from a concert and was woken at 4:40 am by the gym door/ service door slamming over and over, and staff gabbing loudly in the hallway. I didn’t fall back to sleep since the noise continued. I was feeling too exhausted to enjoy the rest of my day.
I can kind of understand if the hotel was fully booked but it wasn’t and I checked in quite early so literally any other room would have been available.
I mentioned this to staff as I checked out and they just smiled and laughed and said I should have requested a higher floor.
To me they should know their own hotel enough to know that room is noisy and not to put anyone there unless they have to.
Won’t stay again.
Room was clean and bed was comfortable.
Breakfast was yummy. Decent selection of breads and cereals, eggs, bacon, sausage etc.
Lots of free parking and many food options nearby.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone especially if you have kids because there were people just hanging around outside by the front door and it was dirty
Check in process was a breeze. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and kind. Our room was clean, we were provided everything we needed, and breakfast was great. No complaints on our end. We would definitely stay here again if ever in the area.
Ran out of hot water. All they did was say sorry and tell us the room next to us did, too. No price adjustment. Hot water should be a reasonable expectation in a hotel. They didn't seem to care.
