If you want a cheap place for a good nights sleep it is recommended however if you want luxury you may want another place. The room was clean however when I went to bed I found the sheet was severely soiled.

Staff was great. Very comfortable. clean and private. Will use this again. Thanks!!
Room was clean and modern. There was not adequate parking however. We had to park in a neighboring parking lot and walk over. There were too many trucks in lot taking up to 6 parking spots
Spacious room. Comfortable and clean. Friendly, helpful staff. Bathtub was really slick. A possible hazard for young children and older people.

No one was at the desk when checking in. Finally found a housekeeper vacuuming and they went and got someone. Finally got to our room and the floor had not been swept/cleaned. The coffee maker still had the coffee pod from the previous guest. The makeup remover package was completely dry when I opened it. The hotel and room smelled bad of cooking spices, bad enough it made my eyes burn. The mini muffins they had at the breakfast had to have been there awhile, very dry.
Room was cleani'ish, only one towel to shower with, breakfast was gone by 730 am

Check in was difficult. Had to wait for them to figure out what room they would put us in with a dog. Room was minimal. Heater was NOISY. Breakfast was a 2 as well
I loved everything about my stay. Thank you
The first night building had a fire. Taken care of in professional expeditious way. Over as quickly as started. Clothes had smoke smell lingering. No one followed up kind of a let down. It was scary. Even with that I felt we were safe for the rest of my extended stay
Breakfast is only pastries at this time. The shower is bananas, man, it's nice and the rooms are clean. Remodeling going on but doesn't affect my stay.
Hotel itself doesn't look bad but needs money put into it more then once and a while. Water pressure was horrible so if you want a relaxing shower don't stay here.
