I have stayed at this hotel a number of times. I love the size of the room, the amenities, and the shower and bathroom setup. The staff always performs well when I'm ordering room service or just requesting bottled water. I also love the sports bar and restaurants they have in the hotel. The TV system is very nice because you can order right from the TV remote and food is on the way. The gym is nice with plenty of equipment. I will stay here again.

The hotel is outdated and need some renovations. We arrived pretty late and the room that we were given at first did not have working shower and AC so the first night was not pleasant. We changed the room to another one for the second night that was better but the lighting was not working so it had to be fixed again. Overall it’s satisfactory if u do not plan to spend a lot of time in the room . The breakfast was good though
