Pros +

  • Location, Staff, Room
  • Very nice room. Well maintained hotel located in a good location. Good breakfast selection.
  • Clean

Cons -

  • Walls are thin, could hear people taking in hallway,could hear children running in room next door. When you used the water in sink or shower you could hear a knocking either air in the water line or venting issue. Happened Everytime you had the water on.
  • The breakfast could have been a little better and the time of breakfast hours are 6am to 9am..seems early to me.
  • Alcohol consumption in main lobby didn't appeal to me as I was traveling with children.
