While the property is obviously dated, the hotel is suitable, rooms are good sized and the gym was well equipped. Every member of the front desk staff was professional and courteous. I will definitely keep this hotel in mind for my next visit.

It's a Big NO for me!

If you are just needing a place to lay your head this is a POSSIBLE option. This is an older building and the amenities need upgraded asap. The place not only looks old bur smells old. My AC UNIT LEAKED WATER INSIDE ON THE CARPET WHEN TURNED ON. THERE WERE NO CURTAINS SO EVERY MORNING YOU WERE WAKEN BY THE SUN RISING. THE BEDDINGWAS DIRTY, PILLOWS WERE FLAT and the refrigerator leaked also. This place is not my cup of tea and i will not be back nor recommending this hotel to anyone.

The employees were awesome, the bottom floor restaurant was great, only issues were, I don’t want to pay extra money to stay somewhere only to be disappointed with some things. One of the pillows on the other bed was heavily stained with what looked to be blood and was washed and not completely clean. Should have been thrown away, also some of the cups were dirty, and should have been in wrappers. Other than that the room was fairly decent.

It was difficult to get to from the interstate. Restaurants weren't open at convenient times and horribly expensive. Not safe to walk nearby to anywhere else to eat. The hotel needs remodeling desperately and the rooms were not clean.
