Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had comfortable rooms but the separate building setup was inconvenient. The service was prompt and friendly, though housekeeping could improve. The location was not ideal due to the distance between buildings and limited access to the fitness room. The dining options were reasonably priced and convenient. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
The hotel offers comfortable and clean rooms that appear to have been recently remodeled, but the price may be a bit high for the accommodations. The service is friendly and knowledgeable, with the convenience of a late-night deli being a plus. The location is good, though a bit distant from downtown, accessed through a second-level parking area. The dining experience is satisfactory, allowing for easy access to meals during the day and evening. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel was decent with comfortable rooms, although there were missed options elsewhere. The service varied from helpful and pleasant to waking guests early in the morning. The location was good for resting and breakfast but far from downtown. Dining was a mixed bag, ranging from wonderful buffets to disappointing high-priced meals. The facilities offered standard amenities without many frills.
