He only down side is the rooms have old carpet and the lack of ventilation makes the rooms so stuffy, we left fan running and windows open, it didn’t help.

Well maintained property with basic breakfast not Hot food. Only down side is the musty rooms even with the air on, bathroom door entry smaller than usual. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Despite being told about the fee for smoking our room reeked of smoke. Clearly someone had been smoking in our room within the last 24 hours. I called the front desk and they were sympathetic but did not offer to move us. If that wasn't bad enough, the next day I was taking a nap and my girlfriend and I both noticed the distinct smell of cologne. We realized it was my pillow and we could still smell someone else's cologne on the pillow. Disgusting! What else wasn't washed? This is a glorified Motel 6 that charges way too much. Will never stay here again.

Great location. Very quiet. Friendly staff.

Roaches everywhere in the room

Passable

Very conveniently located with close highway access. No frills room, non-existent Wi-fi coverage, no noise insulation between rooms, needs full motel renovation, room experience is NOT commensurate with exorbitant price paid.

The free parking is nice. The hotel is on a busy street. Free breakfast is limited. Bed is too soft.

Nice stay

The Family Suite was ideal for a family with four kids and the price was a real bargain. Everything was nice, only the carpet needed some work.

Room was fine. But no blankets on the bed. Some of us don’t like to always crank the heat (which was rather noisy and I’d prefer not to have on while sleeping). Virtually no cellular reception on property and there technically was wifi, but the coverage was horrible. My room and my friends room had virtually no coverage which was a definite drag.

5/5

Liked the location and ease of access.
