The front desk attendant was very polite and helpful. She told me all of the amenities available to me. Her name was Savannah. I think she should be rewarded for being a great employee. She was also quick and efficient in the check in procedure. I had been on the road all day and I was super tired when I arrived, so I appreciated the extra effort from her.

Nice but noisy

Walls are very thin. You could hear ever step the person in the room took. The rooms are very small. Almost like a cruise ship. Other than that the staff was very nice and the hotel was clean. The bed was comfortable
