The breakfast was more than we expected. Fresh good and wonderful! Staff were great and very helpful and pleasant. The only thing that would have made this stay better would have been better water pressure in the shower. Good stay! Thank you.

Stayed 3 nights. First two were uneventful but the final night we had kids one floor above running around until after midnight. Front desks solution - next time get a room on the top floor. Our final morning we had an early flight and wanted to use the breakfast service at 6:30 sharp when it opened. We arrived at 6:30 only to be advised the staff member had slept in and the food wouldn't be ready until about 7:00. Front desk response (as they were eating their own breakfast while working the desk) sorry can't do anything about it. What started out well really went downhill in the final 1/2 day of our stay.

Thank you for your review Mark. I appreciate you bringing these comments forward as they are not our typical service. I will address the noise issue with staff and explain that they should have spoke with the kids and their parents about quiet time being 10:00pmAdditionally, my sincerest apologies regarding breakfast on the Sunday. The staff member just did not show up at all - no phone call either. So we called somebody in to get breakfast ready as soon as possible. That staff member that did not show is no longer employed by our hotel as that was not acceptable. I will also train the desk person as they should have gotten you a breakfast bag to go. Again, my sincerest apologies for the issues your last night and appreciate you bringing them up.

Thank you for your review Uzma. I am sorry we fell short on your stay. I do know we inform guests at check in that housekeeping is by request using your door hanger. I don't know what happened when you informed the Front Desk Agent of your issues on friday and will follow up with the Agent and Housekeeping to find out where we fell short.Additionally we did provide you with a discount at check out for the issues for each night of your stay. I am sorry to hear you were still dissatisfied and will find out what happened. We hope you will give us another try in the future to see this issue was an exception and not the norm.

the staffs in the front desk are nice and helpful, also the breakfast is good, simple but delicious. However, the cleaning team looks need to improved. We stayed there 7 nights, according to the hotel's request, we reminded them to clean the room before 11AM every day, but unfortunately, we were ignored twice.

Thank you for your review Philip. We are sorry we were not quite up to our normal standards regarding the water pressure. I have forwarded your comments to the maintenance department to look into what would have been the issue there. Additionally, we use Chromecast to stream from your phone or laptop to the TV, we could have provided instructions from the desk.We also have recently gone under new management who will be updating the property early next year. We hope you will give us a try again after our upgrades.

This hotel is definitely a "budget" option. It could use some serious maintenance. The Elevator was rather sketchy, the flooring in the halls and room was incredibly wavy and uneven, the bed had at least a half foot slope down towards the head. Our first room had some minor blood spots on the pillow so we requested new sheets - we were moved to another room quickly thankfully. However the lights still flickered on and off, the toilet ran all night, there was no tissues restocked, no robes in the second room, the remote didn't work properly, and the mattress left us incredibly sore the next day. I would opt to spend a little more to find a nicer and more comfortable place next time!

Thank you for your review Steven. We are sorry to hear we fell short on your stay. There should never be blood spots on your sheets so I am glad you brought this to our attention so we can address it with housekeeping staff. Just recently this hotel has become under new ownership and they are planning renovations this winter. We understand that does not help with the maintenance issues during your past stay so we do appologize for your issues.
