had a clogged toilet that I told him I needed to have fixed so we could use the bathroom and they said they would come and fix it when the maintenance guy got in within 20 minutes two hours later it was still not fixed then after a second call another 45 minutes pass still not fixed. I ended up just checking out early and leaving. Not very good customer service.

We had a large room, king size bed, a desk, three chairs and a TV credenza. The bathroom was adequate, but a little small. The soap, shampoo and conditioner were basic. So bring your own. The hotel had no complementary breakfast or coffee but did provide one free breakfast. The hotel desk clerk was hard to find and we had to call for them when we needed something. It was not a problem, because they were around the corner. We got a great value and I would stay there again.

Room was clean, but the first room we were in didnt have hot water. No big deal, they had us in a new room right away. The only downside was the $ 15 breakfast buffet, which was sub par at best. Ate at 7am and the food was all cold and the biscuits were hard as stone. Despite that, I will definitely use this hotel again in the future. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Nothing like being woken up by housekeeping pounding in the door at 830am. Also noticed my door was open with the inside lock barely keeping the door shut. I will never stay in this hotel again.

This property listed its standard room to accommodate 5 people. There were two queen beds, but no sofa bed, so, the 5th person had to sleep on the floor. Either Expedia or the property should clarify it and should not allow more than 4 people per room if there is no sofa bed.

Staff kicked me out of the room at 2am, called police ect. I wouldn’t recommend staying here if you don’t have patience for ignorance. Staff meaning the “manager” nothing professional about this place and they charge you for breakfast that is garbage.
