Overall good stay. The door for the room needed to be reinsulated as the hallway was very noisy. Some of the channels on the TV had a poor reception. The TV in the fitness room was broken and the room could use a pullup bar. Great location and helpful staff.

Pros (+) Room was clean, beds were comfortable, and breakfast was on point. Staff was courteous and friendly.
Cons (-) Location, location, and location. Have I mentioned location already? The hotel itself is great but it's tucked behind stores which makes it difficult to find and can be very easily missed. Parking was also little tight unless you have a compact car.
