Housekeeping staff were great and everyone was friendly. Place could use updating. My only real complaint is that the bed was not very comfortable and the pillows were awful. The breakfast was okay but the coffee was great! Very reasonably priced. All things considered, I was happy with my stay.

The manager wasn't particularly helpful, and breakfast consisted of stale or expired food, with the coffee machine not even working. And the tap water in the rooms was dirty.

I was greeted by a friendly gentleman and really liked that my room included a garage to park in. The room was very clean except for the very worn and stained carpet. The bed was okay although the pillows were very lumpy. I do give Housekeeping 5-Stars.

The front desk was nice and helpful. The King bed room I had was a fine place to sleep. It was clean but very basic. The refrigerator was very nice and cool. There was a microwave that was clean and worked. The front desk was very nice and helpful. The breakfast room was clean and food was very basic but stocked.

I picked this hotel because it was one of the ones on Expedia that had a pool when I checked in I asked if the pool was open and they said it was closed. There is a pool however full of water but they say it is closed for maintenance however it appears that the rooms around the pool have been turned into somebody's private residence and that possibly the pool is only for their use. The continental breakfast which starts at 8:00 was unstocked and out of everything by 8:20
