The towels in the bathroom looked like someone had cleaned an engine with them and they were stained. The bed cover was dirty. I was there on a family emergency and just did not want to have to deal with the staff on the room. I would not recommend this hotel to family or friends.

Cozy rooms

Staff very friendly, John the night auditor provided great customer service. This is one of my favorite places to stay, even though I get an employee discount for a major brand. This property is well maintained coming from someone who does building repair.
