Liked: Cleanliness
The room seemed clean, but a little outdated. We would have appreciated a coffee maker in the room. When we were checking out, the employee at the front desk was having a very loud phone conversation. We could not tell if it was another employee or a guest, but it was quite heated and awkward for us to witness.

Stay away!

The only parking available, mulberry trees will fall all over your car. It’s very unfortunate that a cash wash then costs $20, no elevators only stairs so no one handicapped can stay. The entire building smells like smoke and ghetto gangsters wondering non stop.

Ice machine hidden.

Can't see room numbers from the parking area, the ice machine was in a different building but you wouldn't know it because there wasn't signage to direct you.

The evening and morning staff were both wonderful and very friendly. The room was clean and in good condition, and the beds were comfortable. The only "negative" I could mention was that there was someone mowing the lawn in the earlier morning hours that woke me and my kids up too early. I know that the hotel staff may not have had any control over this (as it may have been a contractor), so I don't fault them, but it was quite an inconvenience. Yet, it was a great room at a great price, and we would stay here again. 🙂
