Nice place to stay

Our stay was very nice. The hotel is clean and all the staff were very friendly. The beds are comfortable. My only complaint was that it is so small the front desk people have other duties, so we had to wait a little bit to check in and out. But, that was no big deal. The hotel met our basic needs - a clean place to sleep and shower. It's a nice place.

Good hotel for last minute necessity

Property is under renovation. The swrvice was good. Facilities were clean even thoigh construction seems to be on going. The breakfast was good, could have more options. The property has an issue with bird feces, it wouldnt be an issue, but it is built up by the front doors to the entrance of lobby

Question the high price

Nice, clean and fairly new hotel. However a little over priced and no breakfast offered. Just sugary cereal and stale bagels and apples. That is not breakfast!

Mediocre but clean

The rating was 8.8 so we expected something updated. It was clean but the pillows were terribly hard and uncomfortable. The rooms were decorated in the 1970s as was the hotel. However, staff was friendly and the bathroom was updated as well. The carpet needs replaced throughout the hotel as do the drapery and entry.
