The front desk staff was wonderful. Check-in was smooth, the room was clean, and we didn't have any issues until we got back to the room on the second day. Our AC went out, no idea why, the front desk staff was amazing and allowed us to move rooms but it was so late that it wasn't ideal. Not the staff's fault but the hotel could use some love. We found lights that didn't work in the second room. And some of the USB plugs in both rooms didn't work.

July 4th weekend

First off, I’ll offer a little grace since our stay was Saturday July 5th and I’m sure the week was busy with the Holiday. The hotel seemed to be understaffed and employees overworked. After check in, we arrived in our room and I immediately noticed the the bed looked rumpled and I could see that the sheet was untucked this prompted my investigation on the sheets. The pillows were rumpled and when I pulled back the top sheet there was food crumbs and hair. I requested new bedding and Krystal at the desk promptly made it right. The A/C in our room needed maintenance. It took until 2 am to get the temp down to 73° it felt humid and it smelled for weed. Overall the beds were comfortable and the hotel itself is in good shape. We had an early start the next morning so we didn’t have breakfast but the dining area looked clean. There’s not a lot of options for hotels in the area and the others were all booked. In a pinch, I’d stay there again .
