the breakfast was not tasty and did not appear fresh. Watery eggs, old looking fruit. I also was mistaken for a vagrant on my way to check out and was told that I couldn't come into the lobby multiple times before the plain clothes hotel employee realized I was not the person they had issues with the previous night.

Poor customer service and untrustworthy! I was lied to and overcharged for parking. I called prior to booking to ask if they charge for parking. I was told they do not charge for parking. So I chose to book here instead of a hotel only 5 miles away where parking is free. Then when I arrived I was told I would be charged an outrageous amount per day for valet parking and that there was no self parking option. They told me to contact the manager by email, but I never received a reply or a resolution. I was forced to pay for parking access for two days, but instead of the amount they told me I would be charged, the actual bill to my credit card was even higher. I will never rebook at a hotel I can't trust with my credit card, and especially not one that lies just to get people to book.

This is a no-frills hotel that shows its age. Water pressure was very low, and the plumbing made loud squealing noises during showers. Access to the elevator requires going outside the lobby, which felt inconvenient and somewhat unsafe. The bed frame was very squeaky, and sound traveled easily through the walls due to poor insulation. The restaurant/bar was empty with zero customers.

Clean renovated facilty, downside was lead to believe valet was the only parking option. I registered with valet put a card on file , that card was not charged for valet , instead the hotel charged a card not authorized for valet without my permission, when i called them about the charge they said you left card for incidentals , i said no i left a different card for valet yall charged an unauthorized card for valet!! Get things straight with front desk before you get ripped off

First, it is quite insulting to have an elevator in the lobby but make your guests use the outside elevator to get to their rooms. Our room keys did not work. After returning to the reception desk twice we were given another room. The rooms are so small I had to get into and out of bed by crawling from the foot of the bed. Bathroom was very outdated and had no door separation from vanity to tub area. Staff were not friendly. Won’t book again. That said, beds slept well.

Property was average. Weekend front desk person was rude and didn’t like to be bothered. Lots of construction around the area, so it was a little noisy. Nothing the property can do about that. Website says free made to order breakfast, it’s a traditional hotel buffet. Property was average and what is to be expected for the price.
