"We liked everything about our experience until the very end. We returned our key cards at the front desk and was never acknowledged by the staff member standing there as we departed. It was rather awkward. We will return, I just encourage the staff members to stay focused on their guests. Without us, they would be unemployed. Thank you for a great stay. Carol Sarnac"

"We appreciated breakfast brought to the room! The staff were helpful and communicative. The room was clean and spacious. Only suggestion is to have recycling. The delivered breakfasts come to the room in cardboard boxes which should be recycled. Guests also always have cans and plastic bottles to recycle as well."

"First, i thought the property was difficult to find..it is not well marked and it is surrounded by other bldgs. The staff are beyond helpful & the checkin was flawless. The rooms are ample in size, and have good amenitites but the bathroom is dated. My only big complaint are the beds. Hard as rocks. I had a bad sleep. Breakfast was wonderful..they had everything. I would not likely return because of the beds.. if the beds were replaced i would absolutely return!"
