Disliked: Amenities
The restroom near the breakfast room was locked, after a long while I tried it again, after the third attempt I asked the desk clerk if there was another restroom. She indicated that they locked it to dissuade vagrants from coming in. There was NO SIGN to indicate such information and to get the staff to open the restroom. Additionally, the breakfast was left to run out while the staff chatted with friends... The noise level of the guests above us was incredibly loud. Not a place I would recommend!!

Breakfast had a god assortment of choices including a decent steam table line. On my Monday morning, it was scrambled eggs or biscuits and gravy and sausages. Their menu board indicated a variety of other choices on other mornings.

Yuck!

This hotel was in terrible shape. The shower curtains were barely hanging from the bar, the tile was stained and the overall cleanliness was lacking. I was traveling with a little dog and he was going crazy for something under the bed. I pulled out the mattress and found a tennis ball, soiled handtowel and a bag of water (probably an ice pack) along with a fair amount of dust and grime. It was really pretty awful

Overall everything was good. There was a fire alarm incident that resulted in having to evacuate the building during the night while fire officials checked the building. No fire but it would have been helpful if a staff member informed guests about the event to reassure everyone. Thankfully the incident was a false alarm and fire alarms did work appropriately.

It’s okay, clean enough. I was expecting more for the price, but guess I was off. Hallways and room had an older yucky smell, particularly in the hot weather. But room and bed was comfy enough, bed on squishy side.
