Latoya checked us in she was absolutely a wonderful person. The room was clean with good beds. The breakfast was great especially for a hotel breakfast had a lot to choose from for breakfast.
For the price, the hotel was okay. The hot water was outstanding but the drainage in the shower is terrible. Rooms need updating and the refrigerator would not get cold. We were on the 1st floor and could hear the staff talking and laughing extremely loud. It was early in the morning and we were trying to get some much needed rest. The bed did sleep really well.
Amazing staff Latoya checked us in, super friendly

Breakfast had a great variety. Bed was stiff. But located near everything we planned to visit. Overall it was an average stay but costed as much as other nice hotels.
The clerk that checked us in that evening around 6:30 was phenomenal! Friendly, helpful, and informative! The sweet lady running breakfast the next morning was also just the absolute best! Helped with our needs and did it with the sweetest smile!
However, housekeeping and the woman running the front desk clerk Saturday morning were not helpful nor polite.
Breakfast was great and the location was what we needed but I don't believe this hotel lived up to the 8.4/10 rating posted on Hotels.com.
It worked in a pinch but next time we will spend the additional $50 and stay at the Hampton Inn in the same area.
