Room is clean. Check-in was smooth. Location is little tricky as next to local rail track. Buffet Breakfast was fine. Could be slightly better but overall ok. The guy working at the Breakfast was taking care of everything very well. $18 parking is acceptable. If you are staying less than 12 hours, ask as the list price says, $12.

Staff was very friendly. It was a holiday weekend, and the hotel was super clean. Very quiet in the halls, except for someone down the hall who doesn't know how to close a door without slamming it.Would like a quick muffin or piece of fruit to get the morning started rather than going into the restaurant.

Receptionist was quite abrupt. The hotel feels old and tired; it urgently needs an upgrade. It’s also unacceptable that hotel guests need to pay for parking, since street parking is not an option. I have never heard of any such thing in any other hotel!
