Liked: Cleanliness
The lady at check in was nice. The stay was okay. We were located in the very back, it was too dark for me. If I had been staying alone I would have asked to change rooms to something closer to the front of the building (there are two). I would have appreciated more lights in the parking lot. We asked for a non smoking room but it was easy to smell the smoke from previous smokers that they were not able to completely remove. The room was fine. All rooms are outdoors. We went to the complimentary breakfast but left after seeing that there was only fruit, cereal, and waffles. At least that’s all I remember seeing. We went down the street to a restaurant instead. Checkout was smooth.

The staff was pleasant and helpful. However, the hotel is showing its age. For the price I expected better. It is an older hotel. The vending machine only took exact change, and I was told to use the one at the hotel next door. We stayed there because it was close to the hospital.
