The front desk was very friendly and let us check in early. Very polite and gave us suggestions on a great place to go and eat. The room was clean and nice especially for those on a budget. Everytime we called for service they were extremely nice and professional. I would definitely recommend this hotel to all friends and family.... More

My family and I stayed at the hotel on April 2012. Nobody cleaned our room for 3 days and the manager Barbara was very rude once we complained about the bad service we were having. I was ok with the first day that we did not have cleaning service because we left the room late, so the second day we... More
