“Very pleasant and comfortable stay”
The staff was very friendly and the room was very clean. We were overbooked by Priceline so the hotel updated our room with no extra charge. We didn’t plan on having to stay in a hotel but it was a good experience in a pinch

Breakfast was good, location left a lot to be desired. Homeless guy wandering around the property talking to himself.

“The place is good as a suite or Inn. The adopted self service for breakfast is good and the cleanin”
The location is so strategic. The pricing is not friendly and not consistent.
