I should have looked closer at the age of the hotel. The bathroom had mold around the tub and the “couch” was filthy and looked like it came from the 90’s. I understand there are people who live in hotels, I just feel that maybe putting guest staying longer on one floor and those in town for a weekend on another. Lots of hanging out in the hallway being loud. If I had been traveling alone I would have changed rooms.

The service was excellent. The hotel itself is clean and well kept. My only complaint is the road noise from the nearby highway. It was quite loud. Good experience though and I would gladly go back if needed in future. I might request the other side of the building though.

There was no hand soap by the sink in the bathroom. The light fixture and outlet on the left side of the bed didn't work. We liked the free hot chocolate and Starbuck counter in the lobby. The bed was comfortable and the HVAC system worked well.
