There was a terrible pet/damp smell in our room. They made it easy for us to move rooms. When we arrived back one night our door was open. The cleaning staff didn’t close our door. Thankfully we always take our electronics with us and nothing was stolen.

Staff were friendly. Room was clean, but smell bad like mildew in the bathroom, and the a/c is old and take a while to cold down the room. I think $150 a night was too much for the condition of the building.

The stuff that we liked is the hot breakfast with good options. Front staff is also good and responsive. The thing that we didn't like is cleanliness. We stayed 2 nights and no one cleaned the bathroom and room. When I called them again in evening of second day, they provided us clean towels. Overall it was OK stay .

Two day stay with family. Breakfast was great and breakfast attendants were wonderful. Room was fine, shower seemed newly remodeled so that was nice but the exhaust fan made a huge broken noise. We found an underwear and an empty beer can in our room and had to call front desk as soon as we checked in! Overall a decent hotel for a short stay.
