Liked: Staff & service
Close to restaurants. Clean but dated. You can hear the people 1 room away like they're in your room, 2 away like they're 1 room away. Not a deal breaker, but if you're a lite sleeper keep that in mind. The room I had was clean and large. Great AC and shower. Parking was easy, safe, but pretty tight door to door. A good stay if you're in that area.

We were pleased with our room then we discovered ants and they were very nice and exchange our room for another and that was the best it was nice for the simple fact it was handicap friendly. Wish we would have said something before we took our showers in the old room.

The hotel looked so old it definitely needs some renovation. The mattress was incredibly uncomfortable. A lot of noise outside the room
