Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
Sadly, this inn is in need of some upgrading and some clients say they will not return here. Others do return because the rates are low and some employees make an effort to be helpful. Words of warning from those who stayed here: Not all the rooms have Internet access. Many complained the beer at the evening social was warm and flat. Others said the noise from the traffic and neighboring rooms made it difficult to sleep. YES, if you can handle the problems and are on a budget. NO, if you are expecting a top quality Marriott experience. Read our customer reviews?
