With the reviews I expected too much of this place. Staff is mixed when it comes to friendliness. Some are rude, some are nice. The food was gross. Even the hot water for tea had some dirt or something in it. One of the lights in our room didnt work. And one of the cleaning staff opened our door without knocking first to see if we were there. It wasnt the worst. But i wouldnt stay there again.

I stayed here to attend a concert at the venue across the street and I’ll be back! The prices are reasonable, the rooms clean, beds comfy, water, pressure great and the free breakfast was also very good. The little wine bar/ restaurant just off the lobby was also wonderful. There’s a pool too that looked cute, if you stay in the summer. Thanks so much!
