We were very satisfied with our stay. The hotel shuttle was a great option to take our large group to and from nearby restaurants. Service was very good. Room was clean. The only reason I didn’t rate it high is the building showed a few sign of wear and tear. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Hotel was clean and rooms were decent. Breakfast was typical hotel food, not bad though. They did have a shuttle that would take you and pick you up within 2miles, that was really nice if you were out in downtown.
