The front desk personnel were excellent. The hot items for breakfast were horrible. First impressions on the outside of the hotel were not good. A serious facelift is needed for the outside of the hotel and areas around it. Promotional photos could almost be considered false advertising as they don’t match the actual property.

The front desk worker was very kind and explained things well when I checked in. When I entered my room; it smelled heavily of “wet dog”. I let the front desk worker know, and he apologized profusely, and changed me over to a suite for no extra charge. (Granted, the hotel was fully booked the night before I got there, and the hotel was very dog-friendly). I stayed two nights. There was a 24/7 diner a minute walk away from the hotel, as well as a grocery store and a Chili’s. There were some vagabonds that would walk around, and trash in the back parking lot; but I never felt in danger. Breakfast was actually pretty good. Biscuits and gravy were awesome. Scrambled eggs were fluffy and fresh. French toast sticks were kind of stale, but I still ate them! Juice was not good; from concentrate boxes. Ketchup packets were not refilled either morning I ate there. Coffee, tea, bagels, toast, omelettes, breakfast sausage (that was really good too). Vending machines and ice on all floors. (Drinks-only vending machines on second and third floors, with food and drink machines on the ground level.) Overall a good experience, especially for how reasonably priced it was. I only spent about $180 for two nights.
