The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. The pillows weren’t so great, unfortunately. The hotel is older, but is in a nice, good condition. Avoid the nasty laundry, though!!

It was very quiet and had a very comfortable bed. Was a good deal, financially. The ladies at the desk were very pleasant. We will stay here again.

Check in was very friendly and the hotel lobby is very nice. When I got to my room at first impression it did seem clean. Bathroom was clean and floors were clean throughout. But I turned down the first bed and noticed the sheets were dirty - lots of hair and food crumbs. Turned down the second bed and it was even worse - found hair and blood on sheets. I was too tired from traveling to request a room change so I slept on top of bedding in my full clothing because the sheets were so gross. I even kept my sweatshirt hoodie on because the pillowcases were also dirty and I didn’t want my head to touch them. Needless to say, I didn’t get much sleep in these conditions and I would not stay here again.
