Clean and comfortable

Loved the cleanliness and comfort of our room. Especially the breakfast! Disappointed we had a balcony that was not available for us to enjoy. It was locked for safety reasons. Makes no sense to have it. Also, the parking can use more lighting, there's a lot of homeless in the area.

Comfortable stay with healthy breakfast options

Came for NYE. Beds were comfy, staff was nice and overall the hotel was clean. The breakfast offered had healthier options than I’ve seen in other similar hotels which I appreciated. I couldn’t really figure out the thermostat and room was really dry, bring a small humidifier if you’re staying longer than a night.
