We enjoyed out stay. It was a good value. We will look for this hotel again on our next trip
Pros:

The room and entire building was clean. The staff was friendly. The breakfast was great. I particularly liked the oatmeal that didn't have any sugar in it. I am adhering to a low sugar diet and that was nice to have.

Cons:

More zero-sugar options for breakfast is all that I can think of. The oatmeal pot was great. I also ate some of the scrambled eggs. Overall there was nothing I didn't like.

The charge for the room did not reflect an unnecessary delay on check-in.
Pros:

I

Cons:

Check-in was delayed over 4 hours due to “short staff.”

Only stayed for 1 sleep, pros outweighed the cons.
Pros:

The location is convenient.
Nice front desk staff.
Didn’t get bothered by housekeeping while trying to sleep.

Cons:

Couldn’t open the blinds to get natural light.
Multiple hairs in the bottom of the shower. Which leads me to believe the cleaning staff aren’t really cleaning properly.
Fitted sheet wasn’t even on the mattress. It was hanging on the corner for dear life.

Good experience
Pros:

Everything was very clean and we had just about everything we needed.

Cons:

The water valve in the shower was backwards so cold water was hot and hot water was cold. There were two missing light bulbs in the room. I mentioned it to the night staff when we checked in and they told me to tell the daytime staff. The daytime staff still did not fix it so I had to ask the night time staff the next day and they went and fixed it.
