Room was clean and the staff was courteous. Room was somewhat bare bones and somewhat loud as it was on a busy street. Breakfast was not remarkable. Probably will not stay again.

I was there for one night. The hotel had a smell to it. The rooms were spacious and bed was comfortable but the walls were very thin. I didn't sleep. I kept hearing people walking above me so loud that I can hear even with TV on! Then at 3am more walking, people texting and microwave going on and off....terrible.
