Excellent

us Henry 29 June 2022
The staff was courteous and welcoming throughout my stay. The rooms were well-maintained and had free Wi-Fi, mini-fridge, and microwave. The location was convenient to nearby attractions and businesses, allowing me to hit some great spots. Plus, the hotel offered a complimentary breakfast bar and coffee, which was convenient for my early morning departure.
Despite the positives, there were a few cons. The bed was not made daily and the room service only tended to the bare minimum.

us James 28 August 2022
During my Thanksgiving stay, I enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and the free wifi, which made my stay even more comfortable. Additionally, the hotel's location was very convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions and restaurants.
The room did not meet my expectations in terms of cleanliness. The room's bathroom tiles were broken, and the bathtub looked dirty, which was a bit disappointing.
