It was fine. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was pretty good. Room was fine, nothing special. There isn’t really anything around the hotel - you’d have to drive to get to restaurants and stores.

Amber

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The rooms were absolutely disgusting. One blanket was covered with brown stains and short black hairs in what was supposed to be a pet free room. All of the hard surfaces were covered in what felt like grease so you couldn’t put anything on them. TV screen was covered and streaked in the same thing. There were stains in the sink. No elevator to get to second floor.

Was just passing through and needed a comfortable place to stay. Would definitely stay again. Excellent staff. The gentleman at breakfast was friendly and helpful and keeps an immaculate kitchen. The only downside was the dirty phone. Was overlooked when cleaning.

Richard

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Staff was great, room was clean, and breakfast was typical hotel style. Bed could have been more comfortable but wasn’t horrible. Was super convenient for where I was working and fine for one night that I needed. Wouldn’t recommend for family or even myself staying longer. Too expensive for an average hotel with nothing around it.

Bathroom door would not close properly and it would not take a lot to repair. Demonstrates to me they really don’t care about conditions of the place. Would not recommend it to others.

No ice

Room clean but had a musty smell. Hallways and stairwells not cleaned or vacuumed. Only one ice machine in the entire hotel and it wasn’t working. Was told to go to service station beside hotel to get ice which is unacceptable. Staff friendly. Breakfast on site was very good with a nice variety of hot food and danishes, cereal, or fruits and yogurt.
