The rooms are set up for extended stays with a full kitchen and everything needed to cook and eat. Unlike many hotel rooms, there is more than one chair to roll up to the table, and there’s still enough room to keep your laptop set up. They don’t have any food service onsite, but if you ask at the desk, they have a free breakfast option at a nearby property.

Have never been happier to check out of Hotel! Manager is a jerk, NO HOT WATER. And we were not alone with the water issue. The night shift was definitely more helpful, the young lady that works front desk in the morning is extremely rude and nothing more than the managers mini me. Also how do you pay for a room and have no parking? This location really needs new training, I've been in the hospitality business for 25 years and this is 100% not the way to treat guests.

Will never stay at this Location again, first off the Manager isn't helpful and very disrespectful! The parking is horrible, had to on curb as no parking available. Housekeeping is the only 5 star at this location as they are very nice and helpful, Showers are cold (No hot water). They also place garbage right in the hallway, dont stay!

Stayed during Christmas weekend, horrible experience. No Hot Water to shower and when told front desk about the issue, they said they will send maintenance and the gentleman that was very nice stated that he has told management for months the water hater needed to be changed and nothing he can do. The Manager is the most unprofessional, he speaks with an argumentative tone and gives you no answers and doesn't even apologize for the fact that they have no solution for no hot water. Also when you arrive at property No parking you have to park in the driveway and on sides. House keeping is the highlight of this location as they are very nice and professional. Day staff has the same Culture the the manager has instilled with the way he operates, night shit was always nice and welcoming.
