I’m surprised by some of the bad reviews because the staff from the moment we arrived to the moment we left was very kind and hospitable. The bartender was lovely and made our stay even better. We instantly felt as if we have known her because of how warm she was.

Amazing staff!!!

The staff at this hotel is what made it stand out amongst the competition. They were beyond welcoming and friendly and communicative. There is a fair amount of road noise with a street facing room but that is not a reflection on the hotel or staff but more just a fact of the downtown location. I will be staying here for each of my visits while visiting my student over the next 4 years!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was friendly hotel was clean and the breakfast was very good. I would say the gym could use a little more in it as there was only one bench to do weights on and no machine at all. I was fortunate to be the only one doing weights both times I used it but I could see this being an issue - would recommend for the size of the hotel to add another bench or add a machine weight system.
