Though I only stayed a single night it meet my expectations. Room was very clean and didnt have carpet which was a plus for me. Water pressure was good. The room was overall comfortable. I will stay again in the future.
Daniel, 1-night trip

Wonderful

The hotel reception was wonderful. There is a pool and a fitness center. The room was spacious, but probably needs to be refreshed to a common/uniform style. There is no business center but there is a flexible space if you need to work. The hotel is the gem in the downtown area. Thank you!
