Even though we were facing the street we couldn't hear any street noise. The breakfast buffet was more than adequate and tasty. Several hot items in the buffet were a plus. The desk staff was very friendly and allowed us to check in early. If I had a complaint, we had a pretty worn couch/sleeper in our suite (room 200) that wasn't completely closed and there was a huge tear in the armrest. I know the property is going through renovations at this time, so we were willing to overlook this problem with our room. Other than that, it was a lovely overnight stay. ##### Brian Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Reggie Jul 23, 2025 Property was clean, staff was professional and courteous. ##### Reggie Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sona Jul 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice hotel in center of the city surrounded by good eateries and all city attractions closeby .
