The bathroom was tiny but well equipped, clean with good water pressure and temperature. Our heat was broke, but maintenance fixed it immediately after notification. The hotel was a little worn and out dated, but a good value considering the price range, breakfast, service, location near the airport, and overall quality for..."
"Overall excellent location for a low-mid range price hotel. Breakfast is definitely a plus, wide variety of options and with flavor. The only detail one may perceive is a bit of an old smell in the corridors and breakfast room. Besides that, excellent location."
"Poorly rated so was a bit Leary of booking this hotel. Very happy with the stay. Right on N. Harbor drive. Close to everything. Secure parking. Great breakfast."
"This hotel is not what one would think of as fancy, but had exactly what was needed. The room was clean, we had one issue with the shower that was addressed immediately by staff. There is a pool. Breakfast was good, parking was abundant and long term parking was super reasonable. I would definitely stay there again."
"This place was great. Very clean, helpful front desk staff, and breakfast was awesome. The pool was great as well. Close to the airport and a really good restaurant across the street (Jimmy's famous american tavern)."
