Facility was well-maintained and clean. Both the room & bathroom were spacious. Hospitality, though, was lacking when members of my group tried to gather in the lobby and enjoy a meal together. We were told we could not gather as a group in the lobby unless we rented a “party room.” We were told we could eat in our rooms in groups of 4 only.

The beds were very comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was spotless. Even the carpet was clean. The hotel is in great condition except for one glaring oversight. The elevators! The elevators are not regularly cleaned (built up dirt and grime). Its a shame because they don't represent the care being given to the rest of the facility. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my stay and will return.
