Great Hotel!

Great hotel! Nice and clean. All of the staff were very courteous. Rooms were clean, beds are smaller than I’m used to, but comfortable. Breakfast was great! Plenty of parking even on a busy weekend when volleyball tournaments were going on. The pool is nice (a little too much chlorine for me, but my kids enjoyed it!) overall very happy with our stay and would stay here again.

Decent stay for what it was. Lobby and common spaces were kind of dirty. The location was loud due to a bar nearby and train tracks. Bed was comfy. The morning breakfast was good and the breakfast staff were sweet!
