"I needed to travel to the are for a quick trip at the last minute. The staff was very friendly and helpful . I was very tired and they made some area suggestions. Also helped when I was so tired I was completely missing directions for the wifi that were very obvious. The place is very new amd I don't think anyone had ever slept in the room. Mattress was comfortable and ac worked well."
"My stay was a bit mixed. The staff was awesome, gave me an early check in and an upgrade, and they were all very kind people. I liked the free coffee and breakfast, the size of the room, comfy mattress and quality bath products. Unfortunately, my room on the 1st floor had a very strong moldy smell. All clothes that I had taken out of my suitcase for the one night I stayed, including what I wore in bed, had the mold smell when unpacking at home."
"The ataff was very nice. They don't have an elevator for guest. The breakfast wasnt very good the exact. It was okay but by the 2nd morning we went to the Texas Grill close by and continued going there for breakfast the next 3 days of our stay. The floors were wavy on the 2nd level and there was a musty smell that permeated the entire place. I wouldn't stay again on a return trip."
