Staff is amazing and friendly. They were also super accommodating and chatted with me about the surrounding area even though I didn't ask. You would have to hold me and my family at g*npoint to get us to say something bad about the staff. They were really that lovely. The area around the hotel is amazing obviously. Plenty of good places to eat (HIGHLY recommend Sampa's Pizza Cafe). My problem and my partner's problem was that our room smelled like diapers. Inexplicably. Every time we entered our room we were hit with the smell of diapers. (327 I think) On top of that, the room is tiny, and is much akin to a motel 7. Or 8. Whichever is worse honestly. The experience was SO jarring because the night before we had stayed in a nearby Hilton and it was cheaper but so so so much better. This hotel is made to farm tourists for money though. I understand it's not for me. So for that I give a 3/5.

Over all for the price, our stay was good. Clean sheets. Clean towels. Clean room. The staff was friendly. The only reason why I didn’t give them a full 5 stars is because the parking fee was not transparent, our room was pretty chilly and heater was not working, our rooms coffee machine wasn’t working either. These were minor things (for us) since we were in an out most of our stay. The location was great and I will most likely booking them again in our future visits.
