My room had black mold in the shower and I also paid to upgrade to a room that had a kitchen with refrigerator. Unfortunately, there were no utensils no knives, no forks no spoons for this type Of property, which happens to be a corporation you would think that they would care about the quality of their rooms. It’s unfortunate, but I won’t be returning even though the location was superb. The property was not.

Very nice and clean hotel. First time to downtown and it felt safe and secure here. Staff were super friendly and helpful. The manager gave our kiddo a bag of chips just because he made her laugh during check in.
Will definitely be back!

We recently stayed here over Labor Day holiday. Everything was good as usual since this was a repeat visit. Only DOWNSIDE was the pool area was completely closed and were unaware of this when booking. Always call ahead to make sure everything you need will be available.

6/5! I almost don't want to tell anyone so that I can keep this gem to myself.
The front desk, singing and happy! Even recommending places to eat.
The suites, fresh. Step outside, turn left is clean downtown. Turn right, glistening state capitol! Great eateries nearby
