We like staying here because of the location. The staff is friendly and nice and try’s to help when they can. Our room was comfortable but the couch and carpet needed a deep cleaning. We return even when things are not perfect. The breakfast is very good but where I usually have it included was asked to pay. I was thrilled to see a gluten free toaster.

The room was clean and the bathroom spotless. There was a tub and a separate shower. The porter who brought up our bags was so helpful! He got us a refrigerator when he saw we had a cooler. We did not even have to ask. Staff is super friendly. Dinner there was tasty as well as the breakfast. I definitely recommend this hotel!
