Clean room, room was not ready upon check in time, was compensated with free parking. Swimming pool was filthy, was looking forward to a quick dip.so a bit of a letdown. Breakfast options were good. Okay stay overall but overpriced in my opinion.

We appreciated how pet friendly this hotel was, offering dog bag stations. The front desk staff was always available, answered the phone, and accommodated requests. Breakfast was timely and when the breakfast attendant fell ill one morning the staff quickly jumped in to accommodate the guests. The pool was closed for the first portion of our stay for maintenance but we wouldn't have used it anyway. My only gripe is the housekeeping. They never brought clean towels or stopped by to see if we needed anything. All but 3 butter knives, 1 fork, and 1 spoon was missing from the silverware. For us this was a nuisance because we cooked daily to save money as we waited for our new home to be available for move-in. We loved the location, the laundry was easy to use, and it was a nice place to go for dog walks. We would recommend staying here for anyone new to the area looking for a place to move in to or just avoiding the Airbnb market which seems to be much more expensive than our stay here.

For the most part, clean quiet room good breakfast. One issue we had during our entire stay was the Internet slowness issues and the lack of TV channels or apps. Friendly staff would stay again if the Internet issues were resolved.

The room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was just ok. They have pancake making machine, but it was broken. Those machines are not reliable, they should have the waffle maker which always works. One thing about the breakfast, is the times it's open. Breakfast hours are 6:30am to 8:30am, not very long. This hotel is in an industrial area, so they figure the guests are off to work early. They charge $10.00 daily for parking which is a ripoff. There's no security in the parking lot. There's street parking available.

Didn’t get a chance to use the amenities but the basketball court is a great touch. I wish that someone would’ve come to refresh my room while I was out. However the staff was quick to respond when I called to ask for extra blankets.

We did not use the pool. We did not go to breakfast. The room needed a little more cleaning and carpet was ripped by the bathroom, hard to open microwave as it was too close to the refrigerator, the switch from running water to shower would not completely switch, the tub didn’t drain well, coffee pot didn’t work. We do like the location. The price was good

The Studio Suite was perfect! There was one Queen bed and pull out couch. I loved that the Studio Suite had a small kitchen with a full-size fridge, sink, cabinets with dishwater, electric stove, and dishwasher. Breakfast was ok! They had some variety like muffins (which were really good), bagels, cereal, eggs, and sausage. My only complaint was that they ran out of certain items close to 8 am and had to wait for it to be refilled. Some of these items were coffee, coffee creamer, and sausage. The staff was super friendly. As I was checking out of the room, the staff at the front desk gave my son a pack of crayons to take home. It was a really nice gesture.
