"I really enjoyed our stay at this location. The staff were very friendly, nice, and helpful. The property was clean. The room stayed cold. The breakfast was great. It was a very nice change from the usual. They offered pancakes omelettes sausage. There were other options like cereal bagels yogurt and fruit but I was very surprised to see pancakes and omelets. The only thing was the dryer on the second floor didn’t not work and there was not an out of order sign. But I was able to get my 3 dollars in quarters back and go to the 3 rd floor to use the dryer. But that dryer needs some tlc it was so loud and vibrated the floor so bad I let front desk know and they offered to dry my clothes. I was very much appreciated for that. I also forgot to mention to them they need to check the toilet tank in room 227 because it would not fill up correctly after flushing. We had to fill the ice bucket with water and add to the tank."
