Disliked: Cleanliness
I was put in room 130 which was filthy! There trash in the trash cans, dirty towels on the bathroom floor and sink, dried coffee was on the floor of the entry way and sink, dirty bedding, chunks of dirt and nerf gun bullets on the floor, the a/c and heat didn’t work. I called the desk to complain and was told to wait in the filthy room and housekeeping would come clean it. I was NOT staying in the room! I went to the desk to find out that that room should have been on an out of order list. They did move me to 137 which I had to wait (about 30 mins) for it to finish being cleaned. I wasn’t offered any kind of compensation for the trouble.

We had a great stay! The room was nice and clean. The hotel staff were very nice and accommodating. We didn’t get a chance to eat at the restaurant in the lobby, but the menu I saw seemed to have some great dishes. The location was great, with many restaurants, stores, and gas stations nearby. Would definitely stay here again.

Very nice.

This place was amazing. Nice and new. Very clean. Everything worked in the room. My only small complaint would be the beds. They are very high. Short or older people will have to crwal up on them.

Shower curtain

Everything was fine except for the shower. You could tell there used to be a door there, but they put a curtain up, but it didn’t go to the floor so when I got out of the shower, there was water all over the floor. I’ve been taking showers for quite a while and know how to close the curtain and all that stuff… what can I say?
