The room was clean and tidy. The customer service was not very good. The breakfast was absolutely awful. And the entire hotel hallways and lobby had a strong odor of spicy food cooking our entire three day stay.
This location is fantastic and within walking distance from shopping, several restaurants and even some "nightlife". Hotel was clean and safe

Staff was nice. Hotel was clean. Breakfast wasn’t great but I got a bananas for about half of my stay. Hotel is right next to a strip club though and neighborhood is slightly sketchy.

This is always a nice place to stay. It so very quiet, clean, and friendly!!!
Great hotel to stay at. The Hotel has all accessibility and the breakfast was good. The room was clean and well maintained. No issues anytime during our stay.
I thought the 3 days I spent there were very good. Conveniently located to where I needed to be.

Was a good property kind of slow on the check in, but I did arrive really late about 3:30am . Right next to the penthouse strip club. I’m pretty sure I had breakfast in the lobby with the stripper awesome
The hotel was in a very convenient location. Was a little concerned when I pulled up and saw a gentleman’s club in the parking lot. But I stayed on a Sunday night and it was quiet. Bathroom was noticeably cleaner than most hotels. Overall would stay here again if needed.
