Check in was very busy, only one clerk and multiple people checking in and asking questions and answering phones.. wait time after 10 hrs of travel to get checked in long. The girl at front desk was very pleasant and worked very hard to keep the flow going all by herself. Rooms were clean and roomy. We brought all our luggage up to rooms , went out for dinner came back and air conditioning not working in the one room.. my family with two small children had to argue to get a new room.. stated they were over booked and didn’t have a room at first.. after 30 plus minutes of deliberation they found them a room in another building.. had to move there car, luggage and children .. not pleasant after 10 hrs of travel. Rooms are musty smelly and dated… When checked out no receipt or compensation for inconvenience ? Breakfast fair had to ask for coffee etc.. only person that I would commend is the front desk woman at check in that was solo…

While we didn't get the room we booked, we had enough room for all to sleep. Bring towels because they were low during our stay and did not have enough for everyone to have one. Breakfast runs out fast! We had to eat out. Property is well maintained. Gym also out of order.

The property is in a good quaint location and the staff was very polite. It seems like it has gone through renovation but you can tell that the rooms still needed more work (the door had holes from where the old lock was, the toilet didn’t flush well etc). I think the property has some neglect from the corporate or perhaps there are some planning issues on site. Even though there was kitchen, there were no paper or regular kitchen towels - the staff said they were out. No pots, hardly anything in the kitchen cabinets. The fridge door was put on the wrong way and almost hitting the door lock when trying to open it. The wifi was sketchy at best, we tried to watch a movie but it kept getting interrupted due to poor wifi. Ice machine wasn’t working and could only dispense water. I brought all this to the staff at the front desk but they couldn’t do anything except to note those things. Overall, I think the hotel has potential but it needs more attention either from the corporate or on site - they need to bring in a solid maintenance guy for a day or two plus IT guy or gal and just have a good walkthrough and fix things. Big plus - no carpet in the room, I liked that very much.

The receptionist was very friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived, which made a great first impression. When my flight was moved up, I called ahead to ask about early check-in, and they kindly accommodated my request without any issues. The hotel’s location is very convenient, with several restaurants within walking distance and a Walmart nearby for any essentials. The breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety of options that satisfied different tastes. However, I’m giving this stay 4 stars instead of 5 due to a strong cigarette smell in the room, which affected my overall comfort. With better room ventilation or a stricter no-smoking policy, this hotel would easily deserve a top rating.
