Awesome stay great breakfast loved the swimming pool to ill be back before summer ends indeed
anthony, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Fine but old

Everything was basically fine. The staff was nice and the rooms were clean and comfortable. But the hotel is definitely old and feels like it; the carpet in particular felt dirty and there was no AC in the hallway so it felt stuffy.

Best western center city

Staff was great, and breakfast was okay. But the hotel was very noisy at night. Sounded like something was rolling around on the floor above our room. And road noise from the street we could here in the room.
Stacy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Best breakfast you will ever find among hotels with a breakfast, makes up for the slow elevator and adjoining room. Excellent choice for a show at the Kirby!
Heidi, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The check in was incredibly slow apparently a lot of mix ups and errors earlier in the days any time you stay when a travel ball team is there it can be rough. The noise was louder later in the evening we had to be gone by 4am didn’t appreciate you could hear the noise from other rooms and in the hall and the pool was overly congested with the kids
