This place will cancel your reservation without notice. Do not book here if you actually expect to have a room to sleep in.

I would leave them a zero if I could. They cancelled our reservation without notice. Not what you want to learn when you arrive at 10:30 after driving all day. The manager wouldn’t even come out to talk with us.

Room smells weird but not necessarily bad.
Don't stay here if you will be long enough that you have to do laundry. Yes they have washers but after 4 hours of drying with three different dryers my clothes are still wet. And now there is a backup of people trying to dry their clothes bc the washers work but dryers do not.

Rooms are fairly average, but the price is fair and the hotel itself has all of the amenities. However, the staff are amazing- friendly, helpful, and clearly committed to excellent hospitality. Would stay here again for sure.

Very nice spacious room. The upgrade has a full kitchen with a 2 burner stove top, microwave, full size fridge, coffee maker, pots and pans, and cutlery. Even has a pitcher and a measuring cup if needed. Dishwasher and soap as well. Good water pressure in the shower with a comfortable bed. Free washer and dryer on the premises where all you need is soap. Nice size gym for the fitness buffs as well. Very secure with card access to every door other than the front. Even has card access for the elevators.
