Staff was terrific…rooms need some TLC

The staff was excellent and did all they could to make my stay comfortable. Unfortunately my room was outdated and the small TV screen didn’t work. The courteous and diligent staff finally got it working. The AC unit sounds like a plane engine taking off as it was loud and continually turned on and off. I finally had to turn it completely off even though it was 80+ degrees the night I arrived.

Dirty! Horrible maintenance and cleanliness.

The two clerks at the front desk were the only thing that saved this stay. The young lady when I checked in was great and the gentleman during the evening was good as well. Both were friendly. I checked into the first room there were no blankets or sheets on the bed. There were covers but they were unfolded and in the window. There were folded sheets on the counter. It was hard to know if they were clean or not. I went back down to the front desk and informed the clerk. He went to laundry room and brought back clean sheets. I feel that when you pay for a room you shouldn't have to make a bed when you arrive. I went back to the room and observed the room was even dirtier than I thought. By this time it was after midnight and I needed to be up at just after 5:00 am. The gentleman did get me into another room that was less dirty. It was dusty. there were crumbs and a little bit of some type of wrapper on the floor on the floor. The sheets appeared to be dirty. The bed had a giant dent in it but I settled at this point. Breakfast was horrible with almost no selection. As said before the desk crew in the evening was the only savior.

Nice stop on a road trip!

The staff was lovely and very accommodating. The room was clean, however there was a t-shirt on the floor of the closet and the closet itself was not tidied. Bir that would not deter me from staying there again.

I like the convenients of location to US79. They need to give the same breakfast. One morning had scramble eggs, bacon, waffles, biscuits and gravy etc. The next time we only got biscuits and gravy and waffles, etc. I dont what to be awful but having someone at the front desk that had no teeth was such a good look.

This was the worst hotel we’ve ever stayed at. If it wasn’t for the room upgrade, we would’ve left completely. The first room we got was on the second floor and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in MONTHS. The room was covered in mysterious stains and a thick layer of dust. Our bedsheets were turned inside out and full of tiny hairs and crumbs. The tv was broken and the shower head was full of build up and grime. The shower bathroom floor was stayed blue maybe from a cleaning product. The staff was very accommodating and they did upgrade us free of charge but overall it was not worth the stay.
