Would not stay again. Enjoy my sleep too much.
Pros:

Close to park

Cons:

Walls in rooms are paper thin. Neighbor was having a psychotic break and could hear her cussing and yelling all night. Staff tried to ask her to stop but that morning at breakfast she was still bothering guests with her mental health issues.

Great Place To Stay
Pros:

Everything was great! Lady at front desk was super nice and welcoming!

Cons:

No milk at breakfast and when asked the staff didn't speak English and looked at us like they had no idea what we wanted. But you need milk for cereal.

Customer Service matters
Pros:

The customer service at this hotel was beyond amazing and much better than other nearby hotels. Specifically, Jennifer helped make our stay perfect. She was so personable and made us feel at home. We were also greeted by all front desk staff every time we entered and left the hotel. Thank you!! Customer service goes a long way.
