Shower curtains are hung wrong therefore opens up when you’re taking a shower, shower and sink drain in bathroom plugged, carpet was dirty with multiple things stuck to it, hard to use ironing board when pad on ironing board is not in place and you can’t tie it down, body wash, shampoo and conditioner dispensers and shower barely worked was difficult to get anything out of them. And nobody cares when you report two or three of these things. And no follow up since I was there for four nights. Tried to give this Hotel several chances over the last year and a half not coming back. But your Hotel won’t care anyways.

The room was spotless, bed very comfortable, amenities were in the shower wall which made it very easy to use. The staff was so nice and helpful, special the woman that worked when we checked in at 4pm. We left at 5:30 am, so didn’t have time to eat the breakfast, but it looked nice. The frig and microwave worked nicely. Also, very quiet. Close to many restaurants/shops and Mercy hospital if you need medical care or to visit someone. For our needs it met perfectly. I understand and could tell rooms had been updated.

This is an older facility, but it smells good and it's clean. The room had watermarks on the ceiling, but it was clean. The reason for the three-star rating is that the breakfast was just awful. The bread had mold on it, more than 50% of the yogurt was out of date by about 10 days. It was not good. The staff could not have been more pleasant and more helpful. They were just great.

Our stay was good for what we needed - just a one night stay on our way to Springdale. The rooms are definitely dated (lack of outlets, older shower/tub), but comfortable. Overall decent place to stay for a night or two.
