The hotel and room were very clean. Bed was super comfortable and there was plenty of light in the room. Room appeared to be revently renovated with hard wood floors and nice bathrooms. Breakfast was adequate with scrambled eggs and make your own waffle option; a meat (bacon, hame, or sausage) would have been a nice addition to breakfast. Ample parking and a gym were available at this hotel. Staff was pleasant though we not quick to greet you when entering the lobby or wishing you a good day. Check out was efficient.

We did not even stay there. Checked in- loud party was going on and people outside smoking drinking. You could smell marijuana coming from the rooms. People had their doors propped open and we did not feel safe. Homeless man walking the property with a garbage bag. The back end of the property was completely abandoned with garbage, broken and boarded rooms. I went to the front desk told them l wanted to cancel my stay and get my money back and they refused, even though it was only shortly after we checked in. We did not even go in the actual room, and left after they refused yo return our money. This was completely misleading as the pictures look wonder and we were excited to stay here. Utter disgrace and disappointment on how terrible this place was.

This hotel was run down, advertises that they have a pool which they certainly do not. The photos they have posted must be from several years ago. The “hot breakfast buffet” is nothing more than a continental breakfast with soggy eggs and if you don’t get there within about the first hour you won’t even have that. The room was gross with sticky brown gunk stuck to the bathroom door and hair in the bed. They also must keep the ACs off until a guest checks in because when we entered the room the AC was off and it was so hot in the room that the first night we couldn’t sleep. If you have children I would highly recommend AGAINST staying here, there were people just standing outside their doors smoking pot. It was disheartening to have to walk our 3 and 1 year old through pot smoke.

The woman at the front desk was horrible. She was so rude, couldnt find my reservation that had already been paid for. I showed her my phone an she said its in someone else's name. Then tried to put me on 2nd floor after i put in notes about fluids being built up on my legs an i also called the hotel th week before just to make sure. She said they disnt have any more rooms on 1st floor an i said i cant be on swcond floor so i guess you will have to give me my money back. She huffed an look thru her card thing an handed me a key to a room on first floor. As i was standing there for waiting for me someone called about reservations they had made for several actors cuz she had messed it up an she told him it want her problem an hung up on him an two of them was walking dead actors.

Okay for one short night

We got in late, after midnight. At check-in, he claimed I had no reservation. I had to pull up the confirmation online to show him. Was given 2 double beds instead of the king bed I reserved. Plus we had to walk up stairs to get to our room. The toilet ran every 7 minutes. Loud music thumping in the parking lot. We could smell weed. Not the best area of town. Room seemed mostly clean. I checked for bed bugs and didn’t see any. We were so tired we didn’t have it in us to ask for another room. Breakfast was very meager. They had waffles and bread for toast but no butter. Powdery lukewarm eggs. Cereal. Overall, just meh. We didn’t die. It was an okay bed for the one night we slept there. But again, we were VERY tired! We were awake in the room for less than an hour the whole time.

The bed in the room was sooooo comfortable. We were not expecting to have to pay a $100 deposit tho. I had to dig thru the hotel info on expedia and read some seriously fine print about the deposit. It should be listed at the beginning of the reservation so the people can expect it. Other than that, i was blown away by how clean, spacious, and comfortable the room was.
