Acceptable Stay Experience

helpful staff clean room

The staff were so helpful. They was pleasant, and friendly too. The rooms were super clean. The location is great!

The elevator stopped working. It was annoying, right away, too. It happened on the front entry and was really loud.

excellent stay with minor breakfast congestion!

efficient handling valuable advice

the staff was really good and handled luggage efficiently. late check-out was accommodated and i got valuable advice about local restaurants. parking was available which was very convenient.

The breakfast area was quite crowded, causing some waiting. plates ran out quickly. It seemed this was due to a conference occurring . the air conditioning unit was also rather loud.

mixed feelings about the stay

limited selection subpar coffee

the included breakfast was not good. the food selection seemed limited and the quality was subpar, especially the coffee from the machine. also, parking felt inadequate for the number of guests leading to some difficulty finding a spot on a couple of evenings.
