Comfortable but needs updates

Hotel was clean but could use some updating. You can tell it is an older building and there were a few places where this is very obvious especially in the hallway leading back to the rooms near the elevator.

Kevin was probably the nicest person I’ve met, he made our stay a very positive one. The room was nice and clean and they give full bottles of shampoo and conditioner which was very nice, the pool was refreshing and pretty warm, although the floor was a little dirty it wasn’t too bad. The bed wasn’t super comfortable but adequate. The breakfast was great and had a lot of options, Kevin was also at breakfast and was talking to everyone and even threw away some of our garbage. Overall a pretty adequate stay and very nice staff.

When first arriving at Comfort Inn, I was a little taken aback because it was in the middle of a very busy street, with virtually no indication that it was a hotel. And upon first entry, it did look a little worn. But after arrival, the staff made up for everything. During our stay, the staff at the continental breakfast (Marcy?) was wonderful. So friendly, especially when we were staying more than one night and interacted again the next day. The continental breakfast was very good - 2 different waffle makers, scrambled eggs and sausage one morning and biscuits and gravy the next. The area was very clean and empty items eere replenished quickly. And on the second morning, we informed the front desk staff that there was an oder like sewer gas in our room. They not only immediately sent up their maintenance staff up to the room to take care of it, the front desk manager (hotel manager?) gave both my sister-in-law (in the next room) and I bonus Choice Reward points for our inconvenience. All in all, I would definitely stay here again. And there’s a Starbucks and a bakery right across the street!
