Clean rooms and comfortable beds. Great breakfast! Not the greatest location, no good places to eat outside of the hotel. Lots of homeless people in the area. My sister and I were in town for a comedy show, the area didn’t feel the safest. But hotel was great and so was the staff.

The room was clean and had great TV options. Device charging was easy and the air conditioner worked amazing. We were on the 4th floor just past the elevator. There are plenty of food options close by. The area is decent and there was plenty of parking.

Friendly staff, clean and well kept, nice complementary breakfast, rooms well kept modern and nice. My only gripe would be the stain in the carpet in the room made me feel that the carpet was dingy.
