Very clean! Friendly and welcoming at reception, even when we rolled in just before midnight from other travel delays. Complimentary breakfast was minimal, but there was a waffle maker and coffee. The outside is less than impressive, but it worked for a quick night's rest.

Terrible customer service, will not return deposit

My deposit was not returned, and still has not been returned. I've contacted them through hotels.com and personally, and I get the same response. They tell me the deposit takes 3-5 days to be refunded but the pending charge has been finalized and processed, meaning they KEPT my deposit instead of returning it. I'm still waiting....

Not perfect, but good.

This was a very acceptable room, but not carefully finished. Sloppy caulking, etc. It is in a good location. Lots of nearby businesses, but not noisy. The staff tried to be helpful, but couldn't accommodate our request for watching the major broadcast channels, ABC, NBC, CBS, etc. We were hoping to watch some season finale programming. They are limited to DISH, I think. The breakfast was adequate, not elaborate. I would go back.

The bed was comfortable. There wasn't a guide on the remote or a channel guide. The pillows were okay, I always take mine because I need a certain type. There was some water damage from past storms that you could see in the roof corners. It was a nice and quiet hotel. The continental breakfast is just that. One thing for new guests is that in my room to get hot water in the shower you have to turn it to the right and not the left or you will be very cold, lol. Would stay here again.
