Great price and beautiful hotel, the room was very nice and the beds were comfortable, the only thing I would change is the floor in the shower has seen better days, probably best to tile it instead of the lenoleum that is worn and also the thermostat should be fixed to allow the AC to go lower. We had to shut it off and open the windows to cool the room.

We only encountered the front desk staff on check-in and she was very friendly and courteous. The room was clean and comfortable. We left early in the morning as we had somewhere to be. We liked the overall vibe and atmosphere of your hotel and the rate. We would definitely stay again.
