Bedding had hair and spots on a bed. Had insects flying in the room. Other than that room was good - marble counter, microwave, refrigerator, shower was pretty strong. Staff was not too friendly and reception desk was fully under the glass/closed out, which I have never saw in any other hotel or motel before. When in the morning I attempted to come to the front desk to return the keys and check out - door was closed and no one was available. When I called hotel, someone picked up and suggested to drop keys to the drop box there, which I did. Also not enough parking spots in front of rooms. Other than that - clean outside.

I chose a non-smoking room, but the room absolutely reeked of stale cigarette smoke, and far more agrivating was whatever industrial chemicals they had tried (and failed utterly) to scrub that smell out with. Normally I am not that sensitive to cigaret smoke, I just don't like it. But here, the mix of heavy stale smoke and industrial chemicals had me coghing and feeling unwell just about any time I entered the room and for the next few hours afterwards until I finally acclimatized, which thankffully lasted until next reentry. After the first morning there was no longer any hot water for the shower ever. Mercifully if I turned the shower as hot as possible, the water got less cold, yet it never even reached luke warm. The room was reasonably quiet, but some noises made by neighboring guests at odd hours were surprisingly loud and jaring. To its credit, other than the intence cigarette smoke permantly adhered to the room, the room was otherwise very clean. Unfortunately I couldn't get the maids to clean the place or replace any of the consumables that were part of the room for the rest of my three day stay. Admittedly I never got a chance to talk to them directly, which might have fixed that, but it was clearly not something they were going to do without a direct intervention on my part.

The room was very clean, smelled fresh and it did not have any carpets which I very much so appreciated. Water pressure in the shower was strong, linens were crisp and towels were new. Location was convenient to everywhere I needed to be. I will definitely stay there again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Extremely unsafe and unsettling room condition. All of the windows were left unlocked upon our arrival, and the peep hole—which was the size of a closed fist—was left loose and fell out upon closing the door leaving a gaping hole in the door. This hole could have easily been maneuvered to unlock the door from the inside, as the deadbolt was connected to the inside door handle and unlocked if you opened the door from the inside. This was all so very unsettling considering I am a female in my mid twenties and anyone that may have known about this could have accessed the room at any time. Grime (either a booger or worse yet, dried poop) was left on the toilet paper roll holder. The photos are very deceiving and make the space look much nicer than it actually is. We debated leaving in the middle of the night upon realizing the peep hole was insecure in addition to the windows being negligently left unlocked, leaving a screenless first floor opening that anyone could use to get inside. I highly do NOT recommend staying here.

It is always a pleasure to stay here. We return to the area (from Florida) once a year to visit w/family and friends. The hotel property is very clean, thoughtful layout of our room and amenities it offers: microwave and fridge; large mirror; ample clothes rack; desk/chair. I really like the long counter space in a separate area of room.

You can tell this hotel was an older one that had been renovated, but it was by far one of the cleanest ones I have stayed in ever. The beds were as comfortable as other high dollar chain hotels. Staff was exceptionally friendly, and the grounds were impeccable. Bring your own soaps and shampoos though because their packages are a little small.

It’s an average hotel. The staff is friendly, but the rooms maintenance isn’t great. I stayed there seven nights. It’s the only hotel in that area.
