Great stay

The front desk attendant, Evelyn was so sweet, even as she was dealing with a disgruntle guest that was checking out. She kept a smile on her face and went above and beyond to make sure that me and my husband were taken care of. We were greeted every time we went in and out of the front door, even at checkout

Floor in the room was gross and it was furniture was dusty, after adding for a room refresher it never happened. Then I was promised wash cloths and they never brought them. For the price I don’t think it was worth it, very disappointed.

We stayed in that hotel in the past, we did notice that it's renovated, but a they missed a few details, toilet was clogged in one of my rooms, and exhaust fan was working in the other one. Breakfast was good, overall cleanliness was good.

Me and my best friend got a room for the night to get a peaceful night away from the kids... Just for my children to get into a car accident with their dad. Truck was totaled, and the sweet lady let me bring me kids in the room when we finally got back... And even made us a late check out so we could get some sleep. We will try again on our stress free night another time, here. Because it was amazing
