Pros (+) Nice staff
Cons (-) Long walk to room
Pros (+) Hotel room was spacious and clean. Plenty of parking.
Cons (-) The property looks a little run down on the outside. And the breakfast wasn't great, but it was on par with other free breakfasts I've had.
Pros (+) My room was upgraded when I checked in as they realized Kayak put me in a handicap room instead of a regular room. I appreciated the upgrade from Best Western. The room was large and spacious with several extra amenities, a fireplace, and big desk which I used.
Pros (+) Was in close proximity to what I needed
Cons (-) The stale cigarette and deodorizer smell, beds not so comfy, bed linen cleanliness questionable, bathroom not very clean.
Pros (+) Complimentary continental breakfast was a great value. More than just bagels and fruit
Cons (-) Fitness Center could be updated,but acceptable considering the cost of the hotel
