The staff were helpful. Breakfast included great options. The desk clerk went out of his way to accommodate requests.
The rooms are outdated. Comfort suffers from loud fans. Street noise made opening the windows a difficult option.

The breakfast was okay (certainly edible).
My room had a lingering odor. The bathroom smelled strongly of mildew. I could not find a way to adjust the air conditioning and the room remained too warm for my liking.

Solid stay with great amenities
cheerful person free laundry
Each staff member was cheerful, and their help was invaluable. The free laundry was a GREAT bonus. I found the gym adequate for my needs. It had several machines.
The mattress felt too soft for ME. Most pillows were unfortunately too hard, and the sofa bed was quite firm. I did not get very restful sleep.

I had quite an agreeable stay. I received an upgrade. My room was on the 10th floor and it was clean. The staff at reception were courteous. Housekeeping was also respectful and addressed all questions. I received assistance and direction . Checking in and checking out was easy.

onsite parking great breakfast worn carpet tiny reception
The staff members were cute, warm, and courteous. They were always helpful. The included breakfast offered a good selection. I found it nice to have onsite parking available. the LOCATION was really convenient.
The carpets really need to be replaced. They looked rather worn and tired. The place felt OLD. The reception area was tiny, it felt a little cramped, and there were a lot of hallways leading to the rooms. elevators were also slow.
