Beautiful new rooms!
Pros:

The hotel exterior is kind of plain, but rooms inside are very nice. Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful, checking in was quick. The rooms have been redone and are very nice. Room was well cleaned and fresh. Mattresses are very comfortable and the sheets are high quality cotton. Each bed had 4 very large pillows. Big new tv, decent wifi. Bonus, windows with screens open for fresh air. (Rooms on the back side look over a quiet courtyard, so you can leave your window open with no noise) Breakfast had nice assortment of hot and cold foods, fresh fruit and even had pop tarts. Good location south of downtown, near several good restaurants. I would definitely stay here again. Please note there is no elevator.

Pros:

We had stayed here several times before and it was good. It's an older facility but the rooms were clean and and the location quiet. Breakfast used to have a better selection. There were 2 waffle makers and now only 1. Yogurt is no longer provided. Single serve milk is no longer provided. What they offered was scrambled eggs and cold sausage which I decided was best not to consume. (not sure how old they were) Fruit available were 3 small oranges or 3 overripe bruised bananas. Others were commenting that the breakfast options had truly declined. We will no longer be staying there when visiting family in the area. So sad what has happend.

Pros:

When are places going to have to advertise that their hot tub isn’t available? I paid to come to this hotel because of it. I check in and it’s not working. Disappointed.

Clean and friendly, great location!
Pros:

We were pleasantly surprised at how clean this hotel is. It has been renovated in the last year and they did a great job. The staff is warm and friendly. The room was large and the bed was very comfortable. The bathtub was also very deep. The hot breakfast was bountiful. Unfortunately, the whirlpool was not functional. The workout room looked worthwhile. The location was excellent, especially with the large dog park on one side, and a delicious supper club on the other! We definitely recommend it.
