Great for a long weekend
We were very happy with our stay. We stayed 3 nights.The staff were friendly and attentive and made us laugh! The bed was comfy and clean. Loved the fridge access! My only feedback is the room smelled heavily of marijuana due the folks next to us smoking, which we know the hotel cannot control.

Not recommended
Check in was lackluster. The lady at check in had zero personality and it was clear she didn't want to be there. The pillows are miserably uncomfortable, but the bed is good. The light switch for the bathroom also turned on a light in the bedroom, so if you go to the bathroom in the middle of the night you need to do so in the dark to avoid waking up your spouse. The hotel doesn't offer housekeeping. The location is good and the size of the room was above average. That's about the only good things I can say about the hotel.
