This is just truly ok. Not great, but not terrible. Certainly not worth the expensive price tag associated with it. It is clean though. The building and rooms are very dated. Minimal perks. Lobby ran out of coffee before 9:30 all three days I was there. Don’t recommend overall for the price.

The gentleman who was at the front desk this Wednesday afternoon was extremely pleasant and professional. I was impressed at how gently he treated the guest before me. He did his job quickly and made my check-in experience wonderful.

Everything was OK about the property except Friday night. I went to get something out of my car about 9 o’clock in the parking lot was full of young kids smoking and drinking.
On top of it, security was out there hanging out with them. The only thing that would scare me to come back is the activity that was going on in the parking lot in the security guards was hanging out with the kids. None of them look over the age of 21.
Me and my family was gonna check out and ask for a refund, but I just decided to stay since I didn’t hear a lot of noise once I was in my room but they need to get that under control
