I wish the room was cleaner, there was no remote control for tv, the water in the bathroom was barely warm, the blankets were extremely thin, so we had to heat the room better. However, the staff were polite! The breakfast was fine, too.

Perfectly located and the staff is amazing. I can’t tell you enough how important the front desk staff is, and this staff was so nice and accommodating. We’ve stayed at other hotels for more money and a famous name, and have been disappointed by their lack of customer service. This hotel is tier 1. Highly recommend! Great staff, thank you!

Barbara

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My son and I stayed here to be near the convention center which was a very convenient 6 minute drive. The hotel had a secure parking garage for just $15 per night which was great. The room had just enough space with all the amenities you need: microwave, fridge, hair dryer, iron, etc. There were vending machines, laundry and hot breakfast was included too. Front desk staff was courteous and check-in and out was very quick and easy. My only complaint was that the towels are really small and our room faced the train station parking lot and people were really noisy in the middle of the night, though it's not the hotel's fault. Next time I'd just ask for a different room and bring my own bath towel.

Cyncere

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
The hotel was okay. The room was clean and staff was friendly. However, every night we had to bring our keys back to the front desk to get them reactivated which was a tad bit annoying. We also requested for housekeeping services in the morning and we removed all of the sheets and towels and placed them outside of the door before we left out for the day. When we came back in later that day, housekeeeping did NOT put new sheets or towels in the room. The matress was bare and we had to put our own sheets and pillowcases on the bed. Other than that, the stay was decent. Nothing to rave about, but also a good, affordable option.
