This hotel is great. Seemed recently renovated. Nice clean room. Well stocked kitchen even though I didn't need or use it. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Nice little gym. Staff were all crazy nice. Be aware only Breakfast sandwiches and lots of snacks provided. Plenty for me for but others may want more. And no pool. I am definitely staying here again!

Great night for just a one night. It was so big and so many amenities were there. It would be a great place for extended stays which is what it was for. I just needed it for one night. I would totally stay there again!

This hotel may not have a pool or hot tub but this is a hotel that is spacious and would be ideal for extended stay with a basic kitchenette, even a 2 burner cooktop. No oven but everything provided for extended stays. Spacious room, and bath, it feels like an mini apartment. The bed was wonderful, and in short....I would return in a heartbeat. Very reasonably priced for the accommadations!
