First time I have ever stayed at this location. The hotel was nice. The room was clean and overall the hotel was tidy. The hotel is near the backside of a mall which makes for an interesting impression when arriving in the evening from that direction. The staff were all friendly.

Room was clean and comfortable, but the shower was great. So many hotels have weak water pressure and/or low flow shower heads. The room I stayed in had great pressure and it felt like my whole body was getting actually getting clean and the soap was being rinsed off in the shower here. Would definitely stay at again.

The good: breakfast (A+), room service (A), customer service at desk (A)
The bad: location is bad. No fault to the hotel.
The ugly: after hours, strange people arrive.
All and all: nobody messes with your stuff (including your car and room). Price is ok. Breakfast is a super plus. Customer service as well. More better than bad. 4/5
