Great location for my family to stay when they visit me. Their only complaint was the breakfast, it ended too early, and they didn't have bacon when they said they would (not a huge complaint).

It is located close to the train line. Some restaurants around are nice. The hotel is dated however and could do with an upgrade. The breakfast was good but more variety would be nice.

The staff was very nice. Location out on the edge of downtown. Not as nice as area
Stayed 1 night in May 2025

6/10

Although it is conveniently located to downtown, the rooms are just average. When we arrived, our bathroom sink was totally clogged...something the housekeeping staff should have noticed when cleaning the room. There is a park 1 block away that attracts a lot of homeless. We walked by it to downtown without an incident, but I would not walk there at night alone. Otherwise, breakfast was good and staff was very friendly.
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025
