Won’t be returning.
Pros:

The manager was very nice.

Cons:

The bed was so uncomfortable. We had an awful night of sleep. Also, we could hear so much noise from other guests both who were above us and also next to us.

Nice stay in a remodeled place but breakfast was meh and there was a snafu with my reservations.
Pros:

The hotel was very nice and recently remodeled. The beds and pillows were great.

Cons:

Someone at the front desk accidentally canceled my reservations during my visit. I received a call asking why I was a no-show after I had already spent the night there. I called them back and told them I was very much still there and had already stayed the night. They said they had meant to contact the reservations for 321 instead of 221. I thought the matter was settled but then when I went to my room my key card had been deactivated and I was no longer in the system. Eventually it was straightened out. Another thing I was not impressed with was the breakfast. All hot food was gone so quickly and the options were very limited.

Good value for a comfortable room.
Pros:

Great location, clean, comfortable rooms.

Cons:

I was disappointed that the breakfast offerings were very skimpy and not properly maintain. We ended up not eating breakfast there. Other reviews had positive comments about the breakfast, which added to my disappointment. While checking out the breakfast offerings, I heard a lot of chatter among the staff. Not sure what the conflict was, but it’s never good to hear arguing among us staff.

We didn’t get up in time for breakfast, but otherwise it was super.
Pros:

Our bed was the most comfortable of beds and when your travelling a good nights sleep is so important.The pillows were like resting your head on a cloud, I wanted to buy 2 and take them home ❤️
