We changed rooms with no problem whatsoever. First room was adjacent to someone who brought a dog with them which barked constantly. Room also smelled really musty. Our new room was perfect. Had a great nights sleep.

Hotel room was adequate and clean. Desk chair was broken, and shower pull was broken (could not release to take bath). AC not working properly, but room was comfortable. Our room was next to elevator, so some noise throughout the night. Staff were friendly and excellent service, but hotel needs some renovation.

Loved This Place

My husband and I are traveling by motorcycles and stopping every night at a different location and by far this hotel has been our favorite.

Chose this particular hotel due to it close proximity to my daughter’s apartment complex. That was great & very convenient! Unfortunately, the room that I had on the second floor had a few minor issues. The pull out sofa had visible stains on both cushions. I was unable to overide the A/C unit to set it at a slightly higher temp. And when I turned the selection for heat…pieces of dirt/dust came out of the unit. The hair dryer that is provided in the bathroom, secured to the wall did not work. And due to having only 1 staff available at the time, I had to go down to the main desk with wet hair to get one. And the lighting in the room wasn’t sufficient. Overall, the room was a good size & the bed & pillows were comfortable. So, even with the mentioned minor issues, I would consider staying at this hotel again.
