The hallways smelled liked marajuana multiple times. One morning was so overwhelming it made us sick before being able to get outside. The doors are extremely noisy. We were woken early every morning due to slamming doors.

Stayed for 3 nights. The rooms were nice and clean. The hotel was quiet with friendly staff. Breakfast was poor, lacking in options, milk smelled funny, hard-boiled eggs were old, no decaf coffee. Overall nice if you are not looking for breakfast.

I checked in on Thursday. I was told I could not have housekeeping till Monday, even though I was checking out Tuesday. While the front desk was very friendly, I had to empty the trash, get fresh towels, coffee, trash bags, ect.. for my entire stay. I saw no point in housekeeping coning to change sheets for ONE day only to have to change them the following day for the next guest, instead of offering me some type of housekeeping over the duration of my stay. The bathroom fan continually ran. The exterior doors required a key card for entry for safety, but they were unlocked and did not require a key card. It was unsafe. Breakfast was stale bagels, instant oatmeal, or dry cearel. One of the six days there was yogurt. Most days there wasn't even coffee. There was no fresh fruit or any other quality choices. There are many other hotels in the area at the same price point that offer a quiet room, housekeeping, safety, and a true hot breakfast.
