Room was nice. Clean. Breakfast had good selection. Sausage would have been better if it were browned more. Biscuits and gravy were good.

Disliked: Staff & service
I feel like I paid too much for the quality of the hotel. The room was a great size but the carpet was sticky in multiple places and the walls are in need of a paint job. The night time clerk did not know how to check us in and it took 45 minutes to get the keys to our room. Hotel breakfast was good and was clean and stocked well.

Comfort Inn staff was amazingly accommodating when our TV wasn’t working. They immediately moved us to a different room to remediate the problem. Rooms were recently renovated and spotless.Our host in the morning was also incredibly welcoming. We would definitely stay at Comfort Inn again.

The staff were all wonderful. I interacted with three different front desk employees and all three were kind, polite and helpful. The staff putting on the breakfast were great and the food was good. Our room had stained carpet and smelled like an old smokers room that was attempted to be cleaned with chemicals but now it smells like smoke and cover up.
