Staff are very friendly! The location is walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores etc. The continental breakfast was fresh and hot. The room was very clean. The only negative was the carpet. I stayed there before and the bottom floor rooms didn’t have carpets so much nicer. The top floor needs some upgrades otherwise it’s a great place to stay.

Unfortunately the room was not cleaned prior to our arrival and we had to alert the front desk. We were kindly given an upgrade to a larger room. The larger room was cleaned but I noticed there were things like the floor had crumbs and the ceiling lights had no covers. Beyond the cleanliness issues the staff were exceptionally helpful
