Location was great and we stayed there because they had a nice room with 2 beds and 2 bath for a decent price for the area through Expedia. The room could have used a little upkeep- the bathroom door was broken, the toilets ran all night, and one of the drains wouldn't drain. Overall, the room seemed clean though. The staff was overall really nice and helpful, though one thing bothered me. I travel a lot for work and I always buy myself food for the plane. When I'm not headed to the airport right away, I have always had hotels offer to hold my food in their fridge when I have asked. This was the only hotel where the staff was not willing to do that and so I had to go out and buy a cooler and ice to keep my food from spoiling. I probably wouldn't have written about the other room issues had they been willing to help me on that final checkout day. Overall, a decent hotel for the price and the space and the nice amenities (water stations, coffee, workout center, business center, etc).
