Check-in was good but that's where it ended. The entire hotel has a humidity problem. There were no overhead or laswitcjesmp lights in the room so none of the switches contolled anything. The outlet in the bathroom didnt work so i couldnt use the hair dryer in the morning and had to ask one of the maids if i could use one in a room she was cleaning. I asked the front desk if they had any portable ones but they didnt She did take down our room number so it will get it fixed, i hope. The courtyard is usable, but nothing like the pictures on Hotels.com website the breakfast was pretty decent

Good value, but the pool was broken, AC was extremely loud, beds were nice, bathroom was very dated, cleanliness was above average, breakfast was average or below, there was very loud and disruptive tenants in a nearby room, and halls smelled of marijuana. Cleaning staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Perfectly priced for family

We stayed with our family for the state track meet. I had been before and knew the beds were very comfortable even if the rooms were dated. This stay we got one of the updated rooms so it was actually much nicer than my first visit. It had a larger fridge and nice microwave. As I said before the beds are comfortable. They allowed pets at no extra charge. My kids really enjoyed the pool area. It's smaller but has zero entry for little kids and a slide for bigger kids. The breakfast wasn't the best I have had but it was food. This is a great budget hotel!!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Check in was quick and easy, however our room was not that great. The floor felt as if it was soaked and just left sticky, there was heavy mildew smell in the bathroom, and the window was absolutely filthy. The morning we had checked out we had found a yogurt container in their breakfast area that had mold on it.
