Traveled with family
Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
We asked for a first floor room or room near the elevator due to a medical condition. We were reserved a room on the 4th floor where we had to walk a long distance to get there. We had to walk down stairs from the parking lot which was not disability accessible. I would not stay here again.

Room was nice, beds good and water hot. They had coffee and hot chocolate available 24 hour. Staff was very nice. A/C not as good. Also, had $100 deposit that did not know about. Had a sign to read as was checking in. But, already committed to staying. If was listed but I didn’t read then my fault.

I would stay again

Room was a good room. It could have been a little cleaner. The floor could have been cleaner and the chairs had spots and stains. The air conditioner had a very off smell. However, the bed was clean and the bathroom was also acceptable as well. Staff was very friendly.

Not pleased.

There was spider in the bathroom in the ceiling. The paint was pilling in the bathroom ceilling by the vent The bathroom is extremely small. The toilet had old urine on the back toilet by the seat cover. You didn't see it until you let the seat cover down. The clerk was not really friendly at check in. The hard wood floors was loud when you walked on it. The suite bedroom doesn't even have a door to separate the rooms.

The hotel smelled of cleaner when we first entered. Not sure how because as we passed the room there was a heavy smell of weed. This was morning or night. There was a pair of men’s underwear and a pair of dirty shoes (2 separate floors) that both stayed there from our arrival to our departure. Our room was very spacious and bed were comfortable but we would never stay there again. We didn’t have a good feeling while we were there

Room was clean but bathroom was not to my expectations of a hotel, when using the bathroom I noticed blood in certain areas of the bathroom(light switch, walls, outside of tub, door) i don’t know what happened and don’t wish to know but I will definitely book again once they get a better cleaning crew but other than that the service was amazing
