This was a nice place to stay and the staff was very friendly. They did ask for a card to put on file for a damage fee, which is normal but was charged 20.00 and thought it would be credited back, it was not. but everything was nice and it was a good stay.

Had to call to get front desk assistance to check in. Elevators were down due to lightning strike, thankfully we were on the 2nd floor and my son carried my suitcase up for me. Stairway smelled like a dirty wet dog. Room was nice, clean, beds were comfortable. Bathroom was clean.
