"The hotel staff was very friendly and very accommodating. Three room was very clean. The only inconvenience was parking around the block in a bank parking lot garage. However the fee was only $10 a day so it wasn't that big a deal."

"The staff and hotel were amazing! The only issue we had was our AC in the room didn’t work. We contacted the desk and they said they would send maintenance, but we never saw them nor did it ever get cool in the room."
