The staff was very accommodating and kind. The area surrounding the hotel is not that bad.It is surrounded by businesses. There were a few crumbs on the table of our room, but everything else was clean. Overall enjoyed our stay.

I wanted to enjoy my budget friendly experience but unfortunately I found my room to be in need of a deep clean (good dusting and some less well used surfaces seemed like they hadn't been wiped), and the elevator gave me the creeps. Breakfast was nice, staff was kind. Unfortunately I don't see myself coming back, even though the price was right.

Could have been better

Very satisfied with room and cleanliness. WiFi service did not work at all. Staff was aware but different staff reported different reasons for issues. Breakfast attendant on Sunday morning was rude when asked for empty coffee urn to be filled.

More than adequate place to sleep

Second time I have stayed at this location because of its easy access to the Altria Theater. Parking is very good except it costs $20.00 per night. Beds are very comfortable. I appreciated the addition of the grab bar in the bathtub/dhower. I like the Dove soap and shampoo products. Quality of towels and wash clothes needs improvement I felt the hotel was stingy with Keurig k cups—only two so my friend and I couldn’t have a second cup.
