Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Check in was quick and easy. Property was reasonably clean. Decor and furnishings were dated. Room had the absolute worst mattress I have ever slept on in a hotel. Paper thin walls, guests in the adjoining room were busy all night which made for no sleep.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Check in was excellent, plenty to eat around the area. Plenty of parking as well. Room and linens were clean, bed was comfortable, just a shame the neighboring room, NEVER stopped going in and out all night long, slamming the door, so the bed didn’t matter. TBH, not even sure where they went, back and forth. Not even a bar in the hotel. Called the desk, who were very receptive to the issue, but quiet only lasted approximately 40 min and then continued. Not the hotels fault, but I will be more selective, staying somewhere in the future.

Clean, friendly, convenient, good value

Great reception staff, super clean room, internet, good coffee in the lobby. Close to Forest Park sites and the freeway. Well lighted parking lot. Very good value. Not a big chain! If you are a light sleeper, ask for a room on the opposite side of where the freeway is.

This property was really nasty. The hall smelled like pets even on the floors without pets. The curtains were so filthy like they never were cleaned. The chair inside of the room was nasty and stained up. The wall had dirt all over it. Oh and they had rat poisoning behind the dresser but tried to convince me that they don’t have rodents. Nasty and creepy

Perfectly adequate

I thought the staff was very friendly and welcoming. For the price, I had everything I needed for my stay. I liked that there was always coffee and iced water available in the lobby. The elevator was agonizingly slow. The bed and the water pressure in the shower were fine. It was not a luxurious stay, but I would stay there again.
