Not-so-bad of a stay at all..

The room was neat, clean, and comfy. Lacks certain amenities but sleeps well. Can't recall his name atm but he was very attentive and helpful night and day. Great customer service. He didn't let his need to leave disrupt his work or let anything like that show unlike another. Easily took care of my booking issue :-) I was exhausted and aggravated with hotels.com agent but I'll be sure to get and remember his name next time I'm there.

Property was dirty. Requested non smoking room. After we got our keys and drove around d to the room, the door was wide open and the cleaning staff told us they were trying to air the room out since it was a smoking room and the previous occupant had been smoking. Night stand was broken as well as both the sink and shower nozzles. Room just felt yucky and we spent as little time as possible in there.

Stayed here for 5 days while I went to school. Pretty comfortable. Only complaint I have is the internet barely worked and the tv was a little scrabbled at times. Other than that, great stay! Would stay here again
