The hotel was a fine stay. The room has a tiny kitchen area that was unexpected. The beds were comfy and felt very clean with crisp white bedding. The hotel is on the older side, and the hallways and elevator smelled old and musty, but the room was nice. I would just make sure not to touch the odd padded area of the headboards - they looked gross. Otherwise, the breakfast was a standard continental breakfast, coffee machine was cool, and cold water is available to refill your own cups.
Location was easy to find, easy check in and courteous staff. Room was nice and comfy. My only issue was the shower. Poor pressure and frustrating. Manager doesn’t seem to care about it as most holiday inns have this issue. Thank you.
Stayed for a week for work in a mini kitchenette. Some electrical outlets didn't work, and drawers were broken in dresser. Was very hot weather (100*+) and room does not maintain cool ac overnight no matter how low you set it.
Maid service has to be requested night before and they are not too generous with towels.
Also, they add $20 per night for parking that is a "surprise" when checking in.
Staff is nice, breakfast is great, close to my work site, so it is convenient.
Hotel was clean, with good amenities. Everyone was very friendly, no indoor stairs , so had to use elevator all the time. They offered a basic but nice buffet breakfast.
Everything was nice and renovated. The only issue I had is that the rugs are really smelly and needs to be replaced. In addition, there were few times in the evening that I had to call the front desk for few inquiries but there was no answer. Other than that the sraff was really nice and helpful and the breakfast was really nice as well.
This was my fifth stay here in the past year. Such as perfect hotel- great staff, excellent rooms, exercise room is well equipped and the location is a breeze to reach.
