Staff were friendly and welcoming, room comfortable; but would have made a big difference if I was allowed a 1hr late checkout - the manager was adamant that the mos they could do was 1/2hr, with the hotel barely occupied over that and surrounding days.

We were greeted warmly and told about the 24-hour coffee and water machines in the lobby. The room was clean. It was nice to have handwash & body lotion pumps in the bathroom as well as shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner pumps in the shower. We brought a sound machine but I think it was quiet for the most part. Appreciated the hooks around the room and having a mini fridge. Breakfast was nice. There were scrambled eggs, sausage links, hashbrowns, Greek yogurt, assorted bagels, cream cheese, a variety of breads and muffins, cereals, and apples, bananas, and oranges. There was a juice machine too. Checkout was easy. We had a nice stay and would definitely stay here again.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Disliked: Cleanliness
Overall, the stay was okay. The cleanliness of the bathroom and shower could have been better. There were hairs and pieces of something on the shower walls. The body wash in the shower was also empty. The room itself was clean. The bed was comfy. There was, however, an opportunity for improvement in bathroom cleanliness. The check-in process was easy, and the lady at the desk was very friendly, able to explain many aspects of the hotel. The elevators were down at the time that we arrived, so we did have to take the stairs to the second floor, but they did apologize. The parking lot was not very crowded, which was nice. There were multiple doors for entry. The breakfast assortment was probably the best part. They had a variety of options. They also had a complimentary coffee station and an area to fill your water bottle.
