The staff was super helpful and friendly. The amenities, including laundry, pool, gym, and the impressive continental breakfast, surprised me. My family felt safe in this space, and the rooms were spotless. The area was close to shopping and food. We walked to a place called Noodle City, which was terrific. A good amount of security is available.

I had a pleasant stay overall. The location was convenient, the staff were friendly, and the room was clean and quiet. The breakfast was also quite good and had a decent variety.
That said, the hotel would benefit from some updates — especially the carpet and basic infrastructure, which felt a bit old and worn. If those areas are renovated, the experience would be even better.
Still, it was a good value for the price, and I would consider staying here again.

I liked the handicap accommodations of our room but very far away from the elevator. Our room was great but the motion sensor for the light in the bathroom kept going off, once while I was in the shower. Overall I loved staying thee and enjoyed the breakfasts! Thank you❤️
