Room and hotel were very clean.
Disappointed that they advertised a hot-tub only to find that it had been taken out. Front desk was extremely helpful when I needed to print a document. Breakfast was just OK.

A/C was broken - offered a fan and to change to a standard room (we had a suite). No one available to fix the A/C and they refused to give us a discount. It was 73-74 degrees in that room all night. We are hot natured and like it about 70 degrees at night. I won’t book there again, unfortunately.
Overall, not a bad experience. But the hotel is showing its age. The AC in my room didn’t fully cool the room and also the mattress springs were really worn out. But for the price, overall it was clean and safe. I’d probably stay there again.
I brought a group of music education faculty and students to the state conference. Our stay was superb in every way. I particularly appreciated the clean, comfortable beds and the delicious breakfast!

Wouldn’t recommend
From the time of arrival the front desk said the pool was shut down due to pump broken. Then I asked for a blanket for the pull out couch and the front desk said they don’t have any blankets because they’re overbooked. So we get a bed with no blanket? That was a weird experience. No courtesy to offer a discount for the inconvenience was discouraging. We travel there a lot not sure will be back.
