Travellers say...
Front desk clerk was very nice and friendly. Property looked neat & clean. Very nice area, a lot of restaurants & stores close by. Room was very clean. Digital sign outside hotel flashing an unreadable message - doesn’t change our rating, but would make the hotel look better if it was addressed.
