This is a great hotel

So for some reason, I guess the service is not exactly what is cracked up to be, but as far as the amenities and the hotel itself, it’s great I had always had to ask for towels or sheets and toilet paper because we didn’t get any service. No, no one clean our room. I cleaned my room.now I’m checking out and after been here exactly a week I actually take that back the second day I asked for no service and just towels maybe they assumed that I wasn’t gonna want service the rest of the time so I actually went to the office and asked for service. Now it’s 4 days since then with no service but I think if they get the housekeeping on task and on point then they will do good and may turn around the whole black cloud that has hung over this property for years. With the blue heads and other riff raff

Had an issue with one of the bathrooms and I was kindly switched to another room by the front desk. No other issues besides that and everything else went smoothly. I would go back just need to check the bathroom cleaning quality next time :)

This property has potential, a lot of it, but the Floorplans are really wonky. We stayed in the Junior Suite, which is basically a room thats been cut into two rooms with a strangely designed bathroom in between. The "living room" has a full size sofa bed, a dresser, a 50+ inch FireTV, coffee table, easy chair and desk with an office chair. The bedroom had a very comfortable king bed, two night stands, a 50+ inch dumb tv with Cox, and the kitchenette oddly enough. It feels like the kitchenette belongs in the sitting area/living room and the dresser in the bedroom. The bathroom has been divided into two rooms with a crudely done wall, which isn't even straight. The shower is the same grade level as the floor and is prone to flooding out into the bathroom. As I said, there is a lot of potential here but it's just not that great.

The manager was very nice and helpful in finding a place to eat. I didn't feel safe with the neighbors and people in the area. I would stay here for one night but not safe, with my kids.
