Rare that I give reviews but this place is worth my time to sit down and state that the room was excellent, very clean, the bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet. Staff was great. great location to food and Starbucks a block away.

Very nice hotel. The staff when we checked is was friendly and it was a quick check in. I Liked that there was a code to get into the parking lot. The only issue I had was the bed was too hard and despite the women at the desk when we were checking out not smiling or saying hello almost looking like she hated her job when I went to check out I would still stay again.
Maybe she can smile as a guest is coming up might make for a better impression when leaving such a nice hotel
Clean room, facility. New. Gated parking lot, key entry into lobby and to parking makes it extra secure. Free breakfast. Lobby area is nice. Helpful front desk.

Large, clean room with comfortable bed and pillows. I especially appreciate the coat hooks near the door. Nice breakfast choices.
Rooms are nice. A little work with the fixtures is needed. If you stay in room 409, there is a very low humming noise coming from something mechanical up on the roof that turns on from time to time. Also, I mistakingly booked 2 nights instead of 3. Although I asked if I could add another night, I was still required to check out. Booked another night through Expedia and got a great rate, saving me almost half off the hotel price. Checked back in to a room once again on the top floor opposite side of the hall and no humming sound to be heard. I would stay again.
