Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
If you need a cheap, quick overnight stay this is a good choice. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was mostly clean and offered a good selection of breakfast items included. Bed was older but comfortable. However the pool heater was out, the gym equipment was broken (all of it) and the amenities, and noise from the surrounding rooms was easily heard. They are due for a remodel very soon I was told. Appears to be a recent brand name that got bought out by independent. Would not recommend for a longer stay or vacation.

I had to call the front desk to understand how to start the shower. For those who are also unenlightened you must pull down hard on the bathtub faucet head to get it to work.

Liked: Cleanliness
Our room smelled like cigarettes and everything was bare minimum; nothing extra or outstanding. For two people we only had 1 bath towel, 2 washcloths, no Kleenex, two usable coffee pods (one had already been punctured, and only three standard pillows for a King size bed. And, at breakfast, the Coffee selection was take it or leave it. They didn't even offer Decaf coffee. It was a dismal experience.
