Caring and helpful staff. The front clerk, Osha, is very accommodating and kind. The room was clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The breakfast was adequate. Plenty of restaurants and shopping within walking distance. There's even an amazing Christian church down the road if you are looking for a Sunday service. I would stay here again.

Not the worst stay i've had but not the best either. The room was clean, no problems checking in. Breakfast was horrible. If you can even call that breakfast. So gross!!! They had some kind of concoction of corn, chorizo, with hashbrowns. They had burnt chicken nuggets and it looks like microwaved tater tots. One plus is that they have a waffle maker, but only one so good luck getting a waffle with all the people waiting. They have a yogurt machine and an expresso machine and they dont even work ughhh!!! Ok thats enough about the breakfast sorry, its just frustrating when there were so many good reviews for the breakfast online. The lady up front was very nice and helpful. ..... Oh yeah, no trashcans anywhere, i had a couple bags of trash i needed to throw away but there werent any bins anywhere. I had to go all the way to the front lobby to throw trash away, so crazy... its like they want you to be messy. Not coming back ever again!!! Oh yeah, the window shades do not block out the very powerful front lights that are on 24/7, so if you have a room on the front side, good luck sleeping if you like it dark. Thats all bye

The hotels photo give the impression of a much nicer hotel. The hotel was definitely much more worn than the photos reflect. It wasn’t a horrible stay but the walls are thin and the amenities were very dated. The toilet didn’t flush well and the shower was just ok. The elevator is a bit scary but the breakfast was nice wish it had more options but it was ok. Wouldn’t stay more than 1 night

Great place, money well spent.

Great place to stay for a wrekend get away. Always someone at the desk or available if you have questions. My only issue is, if youre not inside the room with the door locked, the door is easy to open from outside. (Well, our room was) but we didnt have any issues with anyone entering the room while we were away. (I always put cameras in out hotel rooms)

This hotel claims to be newly renovated and nice but it was very dingy and run down. The comforter had at least 3 stains and the walls were dirty. We stayed in an ADA room and the shower bench was moldy and rusty. Overall this hotel was not clean and I will not be staying there again.
