The hotel is a bit hard to find as it does not have many markings to indicate what hotel it is. Apparently it was another hotel earlier and his been purchased by a new hotel chain. The property is good for the price, a bit worn down in places but clean. We were greeted and checked in by a new staff member, who was on her first unsupervised assignment and was FANTASTIC. Very personable, efficient and kind. She made sure we knew that there were fresh baked cookies at the desk while we were getting into our room. Breakfast was substantial, including a pancake maker, eggs, sausage, potatoes, biscuits and gravy. Juices and coffee were plentiful, cereals, pastries and yoghurt. Very nice! All in all a good experience!

Bed was too soft. Shower drained slowly. Strange noises perhaps from water in pipes. Location and parking are convenient. Breakfast was barely adequate.

Smooth check in, front desk staff friendly and helpful. Stayed 3 nights, room only cleaned once and I had to request for the room to be cleaned. The next day picked up dirty towels and emptied trash only. Didn't replace dirty towels with clesn ones. Carpet really needs to be shampooed amd floor in bathroom really sticky. I went barefoot one day and washed my feet before I went to bed and the washcloth was brown with dirty. Will bring slippers from now on.

Can use some improvements

The bed was comfortable. We couldn’t get the tv to work, so staff had to reprogram it. The surface of the tub was slick & felt grimy, so we had to be very careful when showering. Friendly staff, decent breakfast.

The desk clerk was friendly and upbeat. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The shower had great water pressure but the frayed fabric shower curtain on the arc shaped rod could not keep the water in. The hair dryer didn't work, and there weren't enough accessible outlets to charge phones or make coffee. One of the window panes was completely blocked and needs replacement. They supposedly served free breakfast til 9 am. However when my husband went down at 8:45 they were pulling all the food and putting everything away without even asking if he wanted any of it. Even the salt & pepper shakers had been gathered up.

They refused to let me stay there bc I over slept past check out, they didn't tell me until I booked again and they already even took my money off the card. Had to wait two weeks for refund, they could of just talked to me the day I overslept and offered me to pay a late check out fee or told me that day before I left not to come back
