While we didn't get the room we booked, we had enough room for all to sleep. Bring towels because they were low during our stay and did not have enough for everyone to have one. Breakfast runs out fast! We had to eat out. Property is well maintained. Gym also out of order.

The property is in a good quaint location and the staff was very polite. It seems like it has gone through renovation but you can tell that the rooms still needed more work (the door had holes from where the old lock was, the toilet didn’t flush well etc). I think the property has some neglect from the corporate or perhaps there are some planning issues on site. Even though there was kitchen, there were no paper or regular kitchen towels - the staff said they were out. No pots, hardly anything in the kitchen cabinets. The fridge door was put on the wrong way and almost hitting the door lock when trying to open it. The wifi was sketchy at best, we tried to watch a movie but it kept getting interrupted due to poor wifi. Ice machine wasn’t working and could only dispense water. I brought all this to the staff at the front desk but they couldn’t do anything except to note those things. Overall, I think the hotel has potential but it needs more attention either from the corporate or on site - they need to bring in a solid maintenance guy for a day or two plus IT guy or gal and just have a good walkthrough and fix things. Big plus - no carpet in the room, I liked that very much.

The receptionist was very friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived, which made a great first impression. When my flight was moved up, I called ahead to ask about early check-in, and they kindly accommodated my request without any issues. The hotel’s location is very convenient, with several restaurants within walking distance and a Walmart nearby for any essentials. The breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety of options that satisfied different tastes. However, I’m giving this stay 4 stars instead of 5 due to a strong cigarette smell in the room, which affected my overall comfort. With better room ventilation or a stricter no-smoking policy, this hotel would easily deserve a top rating.

Just passing through and needed ADA with additional beds for a single night. Property could use some upgrades but it’s clean, comfortable and the service was good.

Do not recommend

Do not recommend! Property is in poor condition, the room above was super noisy and breakfast options were a joke. We will never stay here again.
