You get what you pay for

There's something to be said for a hotel that lists an iron and ironing board under "amenities." This hotel is in serious need of updating. It also had a distinct musty feel in the halls and room. It is extremely close to dining and shopping, however.

what a dump

Where to begin? Questioned whether or not the sheets had been changed between occupants, as there was a strand of long hair, crumbs, stains, etc., on the sheets (wondered about bedbugs...). Carpet was old & worn. Refrigerator & microwave did not work; discovered clock radio did not work unless lights were on. (Is this the reason the frig & micro didn't work?) "Breakfast" (a choice of 2 cereals, toast/bagels in defective toaster, rotten fruit) was served in a former guest room; a total of 3 tables to accommodate guests. One of the grossest places I've ever stayed.

Adequate, but needs some TLC

Stayed here while attending the Vera Bradley Outlet sale. Facility needs an upgrade! Had to ask for a light bulb, the outlet did not work for the coffeemaker and you had to move and unplug the microwave to even get to it! Not a plesant experience!

Clean and convenient

The room was clean, quiet and in a good location. It could use a update. Furniture was worn.

Very good for the price!

We were in town for a relative's wedding that weekend, so we didn't need to spend much time at the hotel. Our room was clean and had all the basics. If you just need something simple and affordable, then this should be right for you.

Decent Getaway

My hotel experience here was average.There was not much of a selection with the T.V.channels.The breakfast consisted of just two choice cereals,bagels and juice.The fitness room was a broken tread mill and 2 broken bikes.The only good thing is the location for dining.This does not even remotely compare to my last stay with Country Inn & Suites.

No-frills lodging

Not many conveniences, such as a microwave or fridge, are provided, but the Wi-Fi worked fine and there was a treadmill for exercise. Breakfast was very basic. The computer in the lobby was not working while I was there.
