Terrible experience

It was clean, ice machines never work, tou have to empty your own trash, get your own towels from front desk, bathroom sink leaked if you tell front desk all they can say is thank you. The first day I got there was put in a room where tv didn't work, refrigerator didn't work, and telephone didn't work. So was moved to a room that sink in bathroom leaked. Never was able to get ice so had to go buy my own ice that had to put in bathroom sink most of it melted pretty quick. Had a pool and hot tub but hot tub didn't work. Beds are hard as a rock. My worst experience at a hotel ever.

Staff was very nice and helpful, the rooms were clean and the hotel is a no smoke property period so it’s so much nicer than usual. Smells clean as well. Large variety for breakfast, biscuits and gravy, sausage and bacon. Eggs, roasted potatoes with ketchup. Large variety of grab and go breakfast items as well. Would LOVE to stay here again

Good stop

One of the better included hot food breakfasts we have seen. The beds are comfortable and everything is in good shape. And importantly they are dog friendlly and priced reasonably. We will be back.

Its a nice hotel but you can tell it is older. It could use a renovation. There is nothing to bad it just could be updated mostly cosmeticallt. However the staff are lovely and i slept well. The free breakfast hit the spot. Plus there are so many restautants and shopping near by.

It was a nice hotel for the price point. The staff was fine. The person who handled breakfast was very good. The hot food was good, although the sausage was cold. The location was exclellent and was within minutes of all the places we needed to be. The shower was excellent.
