Stay far far away
We arrived late - close to 11pm after driving for 16 hours. We informed the front desk that we had two dogs and they gave us a contract to sign. My husband just signed it. When he came to the room I saw it was a pet contract and we had two documented service dogs. We had been charged a $100 pet fee. I told the front desk and he apologized and said the manager would fix it in the morning. She refused. This hotel violates ADA law. The manager refused to even look at our documentation and kept stating we had pets. These are not pets they are service animals. I’m filing a formal complaint with the ADA and the Dept of Justice. I have never stayed at such an unfriendly, malicious, money hungry hotel. Beds were rock hard. Rooms bare bones and there was no toilet paper in the bathroom. For $130 you could do much better elsewhere.

Forgettable Weekend…
Out of state trip booked 2 rooms for 3 night weekend. Arrived Thursday night given two rooms on the second floor. Its a non smoking hotel but the 2nd floor hallway had strong smoke odors. Got into our rooms not clean, electrical plugs and refrigerator were inoperable. One of the room has a brown leak coming from bathroom ceiling, RM 217. Must have been flooding on the 3rd floor above. Also loud yelling and door slamming frequently on this 2nd floor. Requested to change rooms, at first was told nothing was available but turned out there were a couple of rooms on 7th floor. This floor and 6th floor were maintained somewhat better than floor 1-3. No smoke odors in hallway and rooms were given somewhat a fresh coat of paint. In room electrical plugs and refrigirators are operational. Overheard later from elevator conversation from two tenants comparing their floor 2 and floor 3 rooms that they were government paid rooms to house locals in need of temporary housing. That explains a lot including the loud noises and door slamming. Also, our rooms were not cleaned on Saturday. Coming back at night from out all day, Dirty towels were still on the floor and requested fresh ones from front desk. If you still want to book this hotel make sure you secure rooms on 6 and 7 floors prior to arriving. DO NOT ACCEPT ROOMS in floors 1-3. The positve side was that the hotel location was centralized to places where we needed to be for the weekend. The reason we booked rooms in this hotel.

Nice staff, clean room, convenient location
We had a quick night stay before going to our next destination. The staff were very friendly. The parking lot was well lit. The hotel was easy to access. The room was clean. The room had its own balcony. The only complaint I had about it was that the weather sealant on the balcony door didn’t seal enough for the door to act as a noise barrier. The highway noise wasn’t loud for the hotel being close to the highway.

The hotel was run down, it had wall paper that was peeling off the walls in lobby and hallways. It definitely needed some renovation. Rooms were like the pictures, very clean, only complaint was toilet was in middle of the bathroom and was crooked.
