We arrived on Wednesday, August 6 early and we try to see if we maybe could’ve checked in the front lady told us that we couldn’t because there was no rooms available. The parking lot was empty probably at most five cars so I just didn’t understand, that’s fine we left and came back About four hours later. The second person at the front desk was really nice and accommodate us on all the issues we had. with the first room where the AC unit was located had a puddle of water so they switches to a second room and the second room The bathroom sink was clogged and when we reported it there was no Maintenance personnel available. The room was muggy. The floor felt sticky and dirty. And there was also a crack on the shower wall. Unfortunately I didn’t capture the gentleman‘s name. He was extremely nice and the cleaning lady was also very nice and Ava the last person we talk to. She was extremely helpful very nice and polite, but the first lady in the front was not very nice or accommodating.

The hotel had mold & we got in late didn’t notice it. We let the front desk know as we were leaving to our grandson’s graduation from the Army they had to move us but they didn’t have a room when arrived back later to drop off some food they still didn’t have a room. As we were getting to our room there were two gentleman spraying up at the ceiling & wiping.we were on the third floor. Not happy at all we came a long way to deal with this.My husband took a picture I don’t understand how anyone could not notice it. It was growing it had spores

This hotel is old. The AC unit was very loud, which made sleeping @ night restless. They don't have a large breakfast menu! The hotel smell old. Old furniture, shower is old! This is my 1st and last time. This is just my opinion!

Staff was average. Property was very clean. Bed was comfy. AC worked great. The biggest issue was how noisy the main road is next to the building and it’s literally right on that road. If your room faces that side then the loud cars and trucks might disturb you. That’s the only reason I won’t go back.

The first room we were given was not cleaned from previous guest. We went back to front desk where it took 20 minutes to locate us another room. We said we would take any room, but the clerk said because we booked on Orbitz she could only giver us the same type of room we had booked. At 11:30 at night we did not appreciate the extra half hour delay in getting to sleep.
