Property itself is tidy, rooms were in great shaped. Clean, today and with appropriate amenities for the tier of hotel. Staff was awesome. especially the breakfast attendant on Sunday morning. When I arrived right as things were getting ready to close down, she made sure I was able to take some food up to my family, offered me other items from the back, and just overall made sure I wasn’t rushed and had a chance to get everybody fed. Super friendly, and I appreciated that she went the extra mile to make my Sunday morning, so smooth.

I stayed here overnight for a funeral service in town. The staff was very kind, but the room was 1.5 stars at best. There were stains on the pillows and bedsheet. There was a splatter of something on the lamp shades and wall. Large stains on the rug, and the shower floor had black crud that I didn’t trust. I washed at the sink and made sure to wear shoes in the room. Breakfast was decent, so I guess the food and staff were high points. The room itself was something out of a bad movie.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Discounted rooms are substandard! The first room that I checked into reeked of urine and other awful smells. I was moved to another room when requested and it was a little better, but everything was old and just ugly. For instance, the paint was peeling and bubbly on the refrigerator, the luggage rack was rusty, gaps around the front door were so large that light poured into the room all night and you spent more time chanel surfing that actually watching TV (no chanel lineup) and the TV was tiny. Linens were never changed during my 4 day stay, and maids did not carry linens on their carts. My room was 3>4 ft from parking area and all night all you heard were car doors slamming and beeps from lock activations.I will never stay ther again.
