It was a good place to stay, friendly staff, decent breakfast. However on our floor we have “tour groups” and every single night people were running up and down the hallways and being extremely loud. I’m kinda surprised no one came up and told the group anything. Hopefully they keep track of loud crowds so they can address the issue.

Doesn’t look like the pictures posted on their website and here on Expedia. Very outdated, dirty area. Great service from employees but the hotel and rooms were just out dated, small and not the best. 4/10

The employees are amazing! The hotel is in a random area, and the rooms itself are not that updated. One issue we had was that it was extremely dry in the rooms.
