I stayed in this hotel before and I never had a problem but this time one of the receptionist was so rude from the time we got there he definitely needs to learn customer service. He speaks to you like your bothering him to do he’s job, also the coffee machine in the room was nasty and I’ve never paid a 200$ deposit till now next time tell your receptionist to be nicer to customers and if a customer ask a question teach them how can the answer it in stead of saying read the paper like what kind of response is that .. never again will I stay there

My room was quiet, and the bed was so comfortable. I like having the kitchenette area and the small table and chairs. I did notice an issue with the bathroom sink on my first night after checking in- it was clogged and took a very long time to drain. I called the front desk as soon as I had a chance the next morning, and during that day, someone took care of it. Now the sink drains normally. The front desk workers have been very friendly and helpful. This location right by the interstate is great. Breakfast is decent: a few cereals and milk, 2 waffle makers, oatmeal with topping options, bagels and bread to toast, mini muffins, hard-boiled eggs, and some yogurt. There were also some apples and bananas, plus juices and coffee. There were enough options for me.

My room is very comfortable and quiet, although the a/c noise is a bit distracting. My check-in at the front desk was quick, and the desk worker was very friendly and welcoming. My only complaint is the smell of what I suspect is marijuana in the elevator and some other areas of the building. I wish the hotel could be sprayed with Febreze or Lysol or something, but more importantly, it would be great if the hotel didn't allow smoking of any kind. But I do like my room and am very satisfied with it.

For the price of this room, I expected more. My family and I stayed at a similar priced hotel with a similar type of room and the condition is night and day, though the hotel looked clean. It did have an odd smell. In addition to that specific smell, not that there is anything bad with marijuana specifically however it like marijuana in certain places, such as the elevator, the room that we occupied at this hotel seemed extremely unkempt. It was not dirty per se, though it did show improper upkeep. This was evidence by stained ceiling tile in the bathroom and missing caulk cracked stove, top old refrigerator cracked floor tile, AC head a crack, so it was hard to see the numbers and part of the sheets were stained. With all of that the front desk person when we checked in, was very pleasant and nice very kid, friendly and interacted with my children in a nice manner. I would most likely go to a different hotel next time I am around this area, however if everything else is full, I would not mind giving this place. Another chance.

Great staff and very knowledgeable about how to get around town. My only downside is the lame breakfast. Just some fruit, yogurt, breads, and waffle maker. They could go deeper into their pocket and have some bacon, sausage, and eggs. Otherwise it's was a great place.

We checked in with the manager on Duty, Kim. She did not greet us, nor did she smile. You could tell we interrupted whatever she was doing, and it was an inconvenience to her. The room itself was clean. The bathroom was clean, but needed grout redone as you could possibly see mold in the old sealer. Husband was excited over having a gym available. Unfortunately, the gym was closed due to multiple pieces of broken equipment. We discovered the location was not necessarily a good part of town. There were a couple of unsavory encounters.
