I had my room changed. The first room I was in had no hot water in the shower and there was mold in the shower and on the ceiling. This hotel needs to be updated a bit. The only plus was the woman working breakfast time, she was super friendly.

Breakfast was great with lots of options. The host at breakfast goes out of her way to make sure you get everything you need. Love the staff. Parking is very easy and feels very safe. No one is just hanging out at the parking lot. During my stay there was construction right outside my window but they were very considerate and ended early and room was quiet and peaceful for a good night sleep. Looking forward to see the updating on the property Looking forward to my next stay which will be soon

Our room was the first one on the first floor (102 I think). We could hear people and music all night long in the lobby. BUT, aside from that it was a great stay. Super comfy beds and loved the shampoo and conditioner!

The roof was dirty, stains on the carpet, mold/mildew around the soap dispenser and a musty smell in the room. The staff when we checked in were very friendly. I would have thought for what they charged it would have been nicer.

Great stay

I will keep this Hotel on my list of stays if needed. Easy check in and they have good soap/bathroom products avaliable. I really only had to open my bathroom bag for my dental care products.
