My stay was great other than the loud group next door. The walls didn't really prevent much from hearing them. Staff did an amazing job about letting them know to keep it down.

Strong lobby smell. Otherwise great.

The room was great. The staff was great. The smell you pump through the lobby is so strong and bad that I might not stay there again. It gave me such a headache.

Great Family Option

Staff are wonderful. So friendly and helpful! Super disappointed there is no longer valet parking, as there was with the former brand. Establishment has just lost its former luster. But a solid option for the budget conscious. Great restaurant and bar onsite.
