Consistently a great home away from home location
The service is consistently excellent at this location. The rooms are comfortable and we really appreciate the kitchen amenities. There was one small issue with the toilet, running intermittently. I did not report it until check out.

This was my second stay at this hotel. It is not new or fancy, but it is very clean, the staff are very helpful, and the location cannot be beat. The breakfast is very good, the rooms are large, the beds are excellent. Absolutely recommend!

The room initially had an unpleasant odor (like gym socks). Once all the windows were opened and with use of sprays the room became more tolerable.
