Place seems a bit outdated. The leather couch in our room was tearing apart. Housekeeping put lotion in the soap dispenser. But front desk was able to give me a bar soap for that. The blinds were not opaque that if I close it during the day, I would not know it would be daytime. But when I opened them at night, the streetlight and other building lights would be very glaring as it is. next to a Wendy's and other stores. I chose this location because of the proximity to the tournament site.

Room was great Breakfast was pretty good. Better than I expected. The only complaint was that our neighbors were rather loud. It was a bit difficult to get to sleep. Aside from that, i am quite pleased with my stay.

The room was comfortable and had a tray table for the side chair to use in addition to the pull out table that was there. Gave plenty of room for more than one person to eat in the room. Comfortable bed , free breakfast and free parking added to the value.

The room itself was nice but the staff was not. I had one positive interaction with the staff at this location and the rest were all negative. There was also a promised full room cleaning after the third night and we never received a full room clean. The front desk also told me there was a crib charge which I later found out was not true, I don’t know what the at employee planned to do with the “crib charge” but it was very disappointing. Overall not a great experience and I would not recommend this location to anyone.

Front desk checked my husband in for the first night and when I arrived on the next night they claimed they didn’t (but he had his room key and slept in the room) and had to use his credit card again. That didn’t make any sense to us.
