Pool area very closed in and the smell of chlorine was so strong we didn’t even go in. Complimentary coffee and fruit but had to pay for a breakfast. Did not enjoy our particular waitress but the others seemed pleasant and check in staff was great. The room was clean and comfortable. Overall a great stay.

I was attending an event at the convention center, so this was a super convenient and affordable place to stay. It actually would’ve been walkable to avoid paying for event parking, but it was a little cold. My only complaint was that the shower could’ve been cleaner. The front desk staff I dealt with was super sweet, and while I didn’t have time to enjoy the amenities, the bar and pool looked very nice!

The staff was wonderful. The equipment of the building had some problems. My A/C unit would only keep the temperature at a very cold 59 degrees and no matter what setting you were on, it would inevitably go back to 59 degrees.
