Everything was great except the location of the hotel. We had a room by the busy road and it was very loud. We were offered a noise machine but still it was hard to sleep.

Some things were great and other not so much. The hotel appeared clean except for Ceiling in lobby appears very worn with possible water damage/mold and the carpets were so dirty in the hallways. breakfast was lacking. No fresh fruit and the waffle maker was not working. The overall selection was very limited. Coffee ran out.

We enjoyed our stay. The hotel room was nice and clean. The front desk staff was professional and polite. The only con is the couch in the room was low to the floor and no foot stool was provided.

At 4 am to 8 am in morning the room phone started ringing Constantly. It was very Disturbing. I couldn't get any sleep, so I got up and leave. I call the front desk several times and each time they told me that the calls was not coming from the Front desk. And because this was something that happened at their hotel. And you pay for the Comfort they didn't suggest anything.
