I don’t think they cleaned the bathroom between the previous guest and our stay. We had to ask for toilet paper because there wasn’t any in the room, there was hair in the shower, and there was sticky spots of urine around the toilet. The heater was also quite loud, though it didn’t keep us up, thankfully. Staff was nice, the bed was comfortable, and the breakfast was decent. It’s a decent place for the price.

So close to being a nice hotel. They really need to work on cleanliness. Also the rooms have harsh, overhead lights with only 1 lamp. Hthat lamp has a bright white bulb. Breakast is pretty pedestrian.

Had to be let into my room due to a dead battery on the door lock. TV box was bad, took almost an hour to get that figured out. they just need to bite the bullet and get some kind of better TV provider! The coffee was ice cold for breakfast, the waffle mix was like water and poured out of the waffle iron when it was turned! They need to stop nickel and diming!!! Other than that, they were nice at the front desk and the walk in shower was very nice

Room was unfortunately not clean. Refrigerator was not cleaned and smelled so bad we couldn’t even open it without the entire room smelling. Staff were really sweet. Breakfast was not stocked, most items you couldn’t even use (no waffle mix, no bowls for cereal). There are tons of reviews saying they were going to take the same feedback and make changes- this is not the case.

There was no WiFi/internet, which we were counting on to watch F1 and handle photo/video uploads. Our first room had a broken TV, so we were moved to another. Its was that TV where we learned that there are almost no channels. New room had a window unit that was so loud it actually sounded like there was a large truck out front. When I went to check out, they had locked themselves out of the office. True story. Sounds worse than it is. They were super friendly, everything was clean, beds were good overall, the whole place looked pretty nice. We were able to have some money with the generously sized mini fridge and the microwave. I will probably go back. It seems like a great place and they’re just snatching defeat out of the jaws of success.
