Loved having the water and coffee stations always accessible. Some things in the room could be updated/refinished but nothing that made such a big difference it bothered us. The hotel as a whole was a great pick and good location!

The staff was courteous and helpful, accommodated all our needs. The hotel was clean. We stayed in a double bed room and one of the beds had the worst mattress, literally slanting to one side, as if an elephant or some extremely heavy set person had slept on it. And I am not exaggerating.
