Check in was great; the room was clean and comfortable except the blankets were pretty flimsy. I don't like sleeping in a hot room, so it was uncomfortable to have to turn up the heat to be warm. Otherwise, a fine hotel for a one-night stay.

The room was clean. My overall concern was the toilet would not flush correctly, the remote wouldn't work on the TV and the hair dryer didn't work either.

We had a quiet, comfortable stay. The breakfast was not available by 8:30. We went down at 8:35 hot food was gone. Asked a little later was told we’re not going to cook more because it was about to close. So they do not serve until 9 am. Our stay was good and we don’t usually care about the breakfast.

First impression, staff standing in front of business smoking at entrance. Red flag for the quality of a business.Go inside to check in and more staff is moving what appears to be a urine soaked mattress through the front lobby to toss out. Get in room and the dust was apparent everywhere and the carpet had not been vacuumed. I literally cleaned the room myself before even sitting down because it felt that unclean. And the room that I got was the worst location because it was approximately 6 feet from lobby so I had to listen to a very loud Lobby Tv during my 3 day stay ( day&night) , had people slamming doors, kids running in the hall and people fairly close to my door talking. Then I go to breakfast the first morning and when I got there it was an hour left of breakfast time but there wasn’t hardly any food left, I had to settle for cold cereal, and the last 2 pieces of over cooked sausage. There were bananas that looked like they should have been used for banana bread because they were beyond the fresh point. It was disappointing considering I too had paid for a breakfast and yet I was cheated out of any breakfast. I didn’t even go back for breakfast on the last 2 days. I can assure you I definitely left that room cleaner than I found it but I will not stay there again. In the future I’ll pay a little more so I can be comfortable and fed.
