It was a quick overnight stay. The rooms were clean and updated. The beds were so incredibly comfortable. The breakfast had a good collection but just a bit cramped when you wanted to find a space to sit. The front desk workers were helpful and kind.

Room was disgusting. Sheets had some type of dried crust, tub was dirty and appeared to have blood. Staff didn’t seem concerned about the condition of the room. Refused to give Manager information and was overall rude! DON’T book or stay at this facility!!!

Check-in staff was friendly and professional. Property was until recently a Howard Johnson, so conversion and update is ongoing. Cleanliness was sub-standard: walls have stains, floor feels a little sticky underfoot, and office chair had crumbs on it.

Good deal

It does not actually have restaurant or bar you have to go next door to the other attached hotel so we skipped it. The AC could not be turned down enough as the fan keeps blowing. The lamp that has the 110 outlet did not work. It’s a bit noisy particularly when the party above us kept moving furniture around until 3:00 AM. Despite all of the above, the room was clean and the bed comfortable. So for $100 bucks it was good when you compare it to the hotels up the street charge $400 a nite for a comparable room. Would stay again.

Spring for a better hotel

It's not the worst place ever but needs maintenance and a deep clean. Our fridge leaked, shower wouldn't get hot, and the AC looked super dingey. The employees were very helpful and friendly though

Room had a previously smoked smell that we couldn't get rid of. There were plenty of signs saying no smoking/vaping/ smoking weed in the rooms, but it had happened- as well as the room being near the smoking area. Beds and pillows were fresh and new, that was a plus. There was no hot water, just warm water for showers. The breakfast provided was good. Staff was friendly.
