They're making a good effort. The mattresses could use updating. The breakfast was like the other reviews, not good. The.hotel was clean and the attached restaurant was great,a bit expensive but very good.

Disappointed lately
The hotel has really declined in maintenance over the last year. I have stayed there about 10 times over the year and im disappointed in the maintenance. The past 2 months the ice machine on the 2nd floor has been broken. The building has a musty smell and our room last night had huge water stains on the ceiling and cracks. Went to the breakfast at 9:15 that was suppose to go to 10:00 and all food gone and everything cleaned up. Really disappointed in the hotel that has a restaurant with raving reviews in it and i have dined it this restaurant and its excellent. The 2 definitely dont jive

Everything was as expected. The front desk lady was not very friendly, but the room was clean and comfortable and it was in a good location for the concert we saw.

We’ve been doing a lot of tournament travel and staying at similar -type hotels. This was bar far the best. Clean. Friendly staff. Solid continental breakfast. Affordable.

I loved the Daniella's restaurant, shoes stuck to the floor a bit though. Breakfast was uneventful.
Cig butts all over the ground outside, kind of gross.
