Did not realize that pets were allowed. I love dogs but there must have been one close to us. He kept barking starting around 5am. Almost as if no one was in the room with him. That only lasted one morning. The hotel shows it's age. Needs to be rejuvenated.

Good place to stay
Last minute stay due to birth of first grandchild. Convenient to the hospital and reasonably priced. Breakfast is made to order and the service and food were great. Felt safe and didn't have any issues with the room.

Nothing was unique. Overall, the property is quite dated. It felt like 2004, not 2024. Bath drain did not flow when showering. There was about 3" of water in tub after every shower. Carpet looked stained and worn in room. Staff was efficient and polite. I had to take my key back 3 times (from the 4th floor) to get it reprogrammed.
