Breakfast had some fresh options, but was the same all three mornings I was there. Gym and pool were small but functional, and well-maintained. Staff was quiet but pleasant. Overall, good deal for the money, especially since I had a suite with full-size fridge and dishwasher.

Great service from the front desk. We were there for the marathon and were worried about our timing afterwards (and leaving very early in the morning). We were able to extend our check out time until noon, and then we paid a $25 fee (reasonable) to extend one of the rooms until 1:00--a lifesaver. Very accommodating. Overall, we were pleased with the hotel--nicer than expected and no noise from the nearby airport.

The room was clean, but a little dated. The members of the staff were friendly. Given my spouse and I have different sleep schedules, it was nice to have a sitting area separate from the bedroom.

I would stay here again

Staff was very friendly. We were able to upgrade our room for a small amount. The hotel was booked. The breakfast was standard. Someone was cooking in the hotel and there was a very strong smell.

Beds were actually full size not queen as listed. Carpet seem wet and sticky, it is probably too old and needs replacing. Hallway smelled like Marijuana sometimes and back parking lot smelled like Marijuana. No bathroom vent or vent was broken.

Fine, but wouldn’t stay again.

Hotel was fine, but had a bit of a smell, maybe just because it’s old? Room was fine, clean overall, but definitely could use better vacuuming in corners and along edge of wall. Definitely old and a little rough, but at least it was pretty clean. I personally would spend a little more and get a nicer hotel next time… most likely wouldn’t stay again.
