Go Somewhere Else, if you can!!!

The front desk both at evening check-in and morning check-out was exceptional. Loved them! The overall hotel is in bad shape, old and dated!! My room did not have a lamp or a clock. Lamps are needed at night, especially with children!!! Clocks come in handy when you want to know what time it is and not need your personal phone to do so!!! Coffee pot in my room did not work so went downstairs and it was Ice cold, unplugged!! Was told I could have a new pot the next day, but I was only there for the one night so that did not help. Coffee would’ve been nice after a 4 hour drive! Remote was missing piece that covered batteries so they kept falling out! Room was clean as far as floors, counters and sheets but the fabric around bed bottom, disgusting with stains. Can only imagine what was there that you couldn’t see!!! That area of a hotel bed really shouldn’t be fabric!!!! Furniture old and in bad shape!! Everyone raved on the breakfast in reviews but that could only be done in false pretense because it was just sad!!! Coffee issues again… it had ran out and was having to be made so good thing I wasn’t in a hurry. No fresh fruit, usually there’s bananas, apples or oranges…nope!!! No yogurt!! Gravy was out, one biscuit left, 2-3 sausage patties. So needless to say, I’m glad I had my own food which by the way got frozen in the “super” tiny fridge in the room. So frozen yogurt for breakfast and the salad I had for lunch that day had to be trashed! Not worth $$$ or hassle!!!

Nice interior, clean and spacious rooms, friendly staff, decent breakfast options. One minor improvement I would suggest is having a small tabel or fold-up tray table in the room.

Apparently, this property is in the middle of an acquisition by one of the larger hotel chains, and the needs in the building are being ignored. My room was a good example of how bad it is. There was no chair anywhere in the room. There was no desk. I had to ask for some basic things, like a wash cloth and a hand towel. There were other things missing, but I will not go on. I will not be staying there again - unless it gets a good renovation. One very positive thing is that all the staff were great.

This was an excellent hotel, Except for the fact that we got bedbug bites. This can happen anywhere. But I called several days after our stay and never heard back from the manager, as I was promised.

The property and vibe in general is nice and I would like to stay again. Breakfast options were limited but still had a decent variety of hot options and I liked that they stayed open til 10am on the weekends. The 12pm check out time was nice too. The only thing I didn't like was that there were no towels in the room upon check in, housekeeping didn't come by (we booked 2 rooms for 2 nights), and while there is a bar they do close early. I tried to go 40 minutes before they were supposed to close but when I got there the bartender was sitting down at the bar saying it was already closed and he had already turned it the mixed drink book. When I questioned about the closing time all he said was he already turned in the book and that the best he could do was grab me a beer but it'd have to be cash only

The reason we chose this hotel was for their shuttle up to 3 miles around the area. When we checked in they asked us to put a card on file (understandably but was not aware of the 50$ charge to go with it) when asked about the shuttle so we could sign up for it we were told uber is only available for those using medical centers. No where on the third party site or even their actual site said that. The room was bland, the furniture is in disarray not sure if that is on purpose for the esthetic. Like the bed didn’t match the nightstands and neither matched the table, the random metal chair that you see at a banquet hall. No art on the walls like they have in the lobby. You can hear people in the hallway and some metal noise that almost sounds like someone trying to open our door. The AC sounded like it was
