The hotel did not have an elevator. It was clean but could use some updating. The breakfast was only sub par. At one time, 4 members of the cleaning staff were having a heated discussion in the hallway which was not very professional.

Dirty.

We walked in the room and it was 80 degrees and so humid. It smelt musty. The floors were slick from the humidity and heat. We had to dry them off. There was a clog in the shower so the tub didn’t drain. The door had dirt and stuff all over it. The carpet was torn from the hallway to the door.

There was a power outage most of the time we were there and nobody was communicating anything about it. We had three kids with us and no tv, air conditioning or refrigerator due to said power outage and nobody seemed to care about that fact at all.

Great value

Room was very clean. We got an updated room with hard service floors. You will probably need to ask for more towels and there’s no hooks in the bathroom. Put the temperature in cleanliness of the room was great! Front of the building looks a little beat up. Being right off the interstate, I understand. But for the price, the quality and stay was great!

Room was large and comfortable. AC was leaking water. Breakfast was not spectacular but it was edible. Pull out sofa bed did not have linens. Had to request from front desk. Was supplied a blanket with larhe burn hole in the middle. Front desk was advised and not concerned. Homeless guy hangs out around property. Did not harass us but maje sure to lock up your belongings
