We were in town on one of the busiest weekends. There was a huge cross country race and a Justin Bieber concert on the same day. Check in took a while with so many people but the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. There was a Marie Calendars next door so... More

This is not 5-star, but if you want a clean place to stay, a really good bed, optimum sheets and covers, clean bathroom, quiet surroundings, stay here... The tv is not flat screen, but I didn't care, I'm not a huge tv person, the room had a great little fridge, coffee... More

Recently, we held a conference at the hotel including catered breakfast, lunch and dinner. I was impressed with the hotel as a whole. Rooms were nice, prices decent and the meeting rooms and show venue were professional and nicely presented. Catering left a lot to be desired, as the majority of the food looked, tasted and was presented as an... More

Don't let the dated, stuffy decor put you off - this is a great place! First off, the shower in the bathroom has a dual shower head. You won't want to get out of the shower.

Booked this place through Hotwire & was concerned about the number of negative reviews. However, the hotel turned out to be fine. This place was once part of the Picadilly chain & was renamed which may have caused some confusion in the ratings. The property is being renovated so parts did show wear. We made sure to ask for a...
