Hotel was clean and rooms were decent. Breakfast was typical hotel food, not bad though. They did have a shuttle that would take you and pick you up within 2miles, that was really nice if you were out in downtown.

On Expedia, the room option I selected had two beds PLUS a pull out sofa and free breakfast. When we checked into our room, there were only two beds and no pull out sofa. When I called the front desk, I was informed none of their rooms had sofas. Additionally, the next morning we went to get breakfast and found out you had to PAY for breakfast, there was no free breakfast. Very disappointed in this experience. I’m not sure if Expedia got the listing wrong or the hotel is doing something backhanded. Either way, I’m not happy
