Perfectly located and the staff is amazing. I can’t tell you enough how important the front desk staff is, and this staff was so nice and accommodating. We’ve stayed at other hotels for more money and a famous name, and have been disappointed by their lack of customer service. This hotel is tier 1. Highly recommend! Great staff, thank you!

Pros: Convenient location in downtown. Decent buffet breakfast. Helpful staff. Nice lounge chairs in the front lobby. Cons: Difficult to navigate parking spaces, which were narrow, and closely packed together. Sparse bedding with no extra blankets. Three out of the four machines in the fitness room were not functioning and had no indication of when they would be repaired. Some of the free weights were missing.

Our room was ok but the temp was inconsistent. It was warm in the room but the bathroom was cold! We could hear all types of noises through out the night. I heard a train twice, some equipment type racket somewhere in the hall. The heat was loud when it went on and off and you could hear outside noise. The elevators were very cold too. Free breakfast is offered 7am to 10am. We went at 8:45 and got the last 2 syrofoam plates. They had hash brown potatoes, sausage patties and what appeared to be overcooked fried eggs. There was one egg left and my husband had it bc I skipped it. It didn’t look appetizing at all. The hash browns were cold. The sausage patties weren’t bad. The Breakfast pastries and muffins were wiped out. There were 2 bagels left, we had those. No bowls for the cereal. 1 apple was in a bowl and they had yogurt cups. No one came to refill any of the hot food choices they offered. There were no plates left so people got in line and walked away. About 30 min after we sat, around 9:15, we saw them bring out bagels and bread for toast and followed 5 min later with muffins and danish. Plates and bowls came out last! Breakfast was mediocre, at best! The coffee was good. Considering we went before 9, most of items were wiped out and no one came to check on food and supplies. Several people just left with no food. I liked that it was walking distance to the

The staff was curtious and conscientious. The hotel is rundown, especially the common areas and the garage. It is right next to the train station and as a light sleeper, I could hear the screeching of the tracks in the middle of the night. My daughter who was with me didn’t hear anything, but just a note of caution for fellow light sleepers. Room was clean, just dated.
