Nice and clean, friendly staff, comfortable beds and a decent size room. Free breakfast is a nice touch and they have a decent selection. Ice Machine was broken, but overall the stay was enjoyable.

very nice and clean property. beds were very comfy. parking, a breeze. check-in was quick and easy; employee was friendly and welcoming. the gentleman that works the breakfast area was very pleasant and helpful - he went above and beyond...i asked if there was ice in their service area, and he said no but offered to go get me some...we don't see that kind of service anymore. would def return and recommend.
Breakfast was terrific. I was surprised at the variety as well as how it cooked. The room was very clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly. I will return to this hotel in the future
From the time I walked in the customer service was amazing, rooms clean and everything else was outstanding! I would like to thank Abi, Deepak, Raksha, Andrew and V for all they did and their kindness during my stay! Would rate higher if I could!

Liked: Staff & service
The dead bolt on our door would not lock properly, was misaligned. Outside doors from parking lot were not always locked. Security was questionable. Staff was great. Parking was ok. Did not use the pool. Breakfast was ok. Glad to have fresh bananas.
I work a contract at the hospital. And this hotel has been nothing short of amazing for me. Especially considering my work schedule, the staff at the desk goes above and beyond to accommodate. The hotel is VERY clean and comfortable. It doesn’t smell like mildew, cigarette smoke or anything else offensive. My only minor issue is that I work overnights, and sleep during the day. I’m assuming they are doing more updating because I heard a lot more construction sounding work next door, above me and right out the door. But other than that this place is the ONLY place I plan to stay at these last 6 weeks
The hotel was very clean and welcoming staff. But in the middle of the night our TV stations went out and didn't work for the rest of the stay.. But I would recommend the hotel and book again.
Hotel is under renovation. Check in was timely, Room arrangement could use some attention, furniture was too close to door opening. Otherwise room was well equipped and was able to operate TV with minimal fuss.
