nice hotel, comfortable beds, quiet nights sleep. Room was clean. Hot water took a while to get up in the shower but was fine once it did. Lots of outlets and USB. Breakfast was good and service was great. Front desk was also nice.

I booked a suite online and received confirmation. At check-in the front desk advised the hotel had oversold and our confirmed suite was not available. We were offered a one bed room which smelled awful. We cancelled the reservation and where advised a $110 hold for incidentals would be put on my card even though we did not check into the room and left the hotel. What a rug pull and poor customer service. Would not recommend this hotel at all.
