Pleasant stay
Very good location near downtown. I stayed one night, the room was nice and clean. Bathroom counter was roomy. A lot channels for the nice size TV. I could hear people in other rooms until 2 am, then again started hear people bumping around at 3:30 am. Shower was good size and I like no tub. Water pressure was poor. I needed leave before 6am and breakfast was available earlier then expected. Over very pleasant stay.

Not Worth The Stay
My room was on the first floor next to the kitchen. I was awoken by various voices attending the continental breakfast at about 5:45 AM. I was also frustrated that there was a charge of $10 per hour for early check-in. This isn’t the fault of the front desk employees, it’s the greed of the CEO. Just a pretty bad experience overall.
