10/10 Excellent
"Staff was amazing. Everyone we interacted with greeted us with a smile. Breakfast is one of the best continental breakfast I had lots of options. Check in was great, we came super early the guy checked on the rooms and was able to give us an early check-in. The hotel is in a hopping area so yes it was loud however not much the hotel can do regarding the sirens, alarms, and noise outside. I felt safe walking around the hotel. Overall if your looking for a place with a convenient location, great staff, and clean(a little outdated) this place is for you. "
