    I would give more stars if I could. Jay at the front desk was amazing and exceeded expectations. The rooms were clean and quiet resulting in a good nights sleep for the family. We didn’t notice any issues about parking or sketchy people out, but we arrived around 5 on a weekday and only stayed one night as we were passsing through. I would bring my family back here again.

    1000% The GM Jessica is literally the best thing since ice cream. She’s truly a miracle worker total 180 degree turn around since my last stay. Any time I’m in the area they have my business. I travel for a living over 20 years and she and her staff has absolutely wowed me. I strongly recommend you check it out and be wowed as I’m sure you will.. Great Job Guys you really are the best in the business

    Our microwave in our room didn’t work. But was nice other than that. There’s people living on the 6th floor which makes privacy limited on the site.

    The room was quite nice. The rooms aren't cleaned every day, there's no breakfast, and the location, while centralized does not seem like a good area. The few staff members I saw were friendly and helpful. This is a fine place for me to stay, but I personally wouldn't bring my family based off amenities and area.
