It was alright.

When you first check in it isn't that bad. The rooms are kinda small once you enter. Hallways are very dingy. It's suppose to be non smoking but it smells like pot and smoke even in the room. Once the tv is of you can hear everything next door and top room from neighbors. The morning of our first stay there fire alarm went off because one of there soda machine shorted and it was smoking. We were able to cancel our second night thankfully. Breakfast was also sad, cereal, milk, hard boiled eggs. pancakes were alright. It seems like people live there on the regular. So just be aware of that. We moved to the Marriott down the street a little bit more pricy but worth it.

The rooms were very clean, staff was accommodating for some issues we had our first night with guests above us. The blinds they have don't block the light well so that was not enjoyable. Overall for what we needed it was a fine hotel.
