The staff was so friendly. We got there earky and room wasn't ready but she offered to call me when it was. Rooms were clean and bed comfortable. Donuts for breakfast were phenomenal. Just a note on the TV. No channels, you can cast streaming from your phone though. No hair dryer either. RC Cola and moonpies in the room was a fun touch. Great price would stay again.

The staff is incredible. We loved the yummy donuts and coffee at breakfast. The room is very noisy and the mini split doesn’t cool the room. Also, the steps upstairs need to be power washed. There’s wads of hair and yuck on them.

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was very clean. Poor water pressure in the shower. Bath products were full, but the dispensers didn’t work so you couldn’t use anything. Bath mat had 2 large holes in it. Towels were fine. Staff member at check in was not friendly and barely spoke above a whisper. Other staff that we encountered were pleasant and cheerful. Too lengthy a process to watch tv. Download 2 separate apps etc. Street noise very loud at night.

Showed up at 11 am.to drop bags for our 3 oclock check in was told at 3pm that they had laundry issues all day and all check ins will be delayed until further notice. Without letting us know prior to 3pm. Apon waiting for a few hours in the lobby 3 other couples walked in made reservations at the counter and immediately were accommodated. Me my husband and one other mixed raced couple sat and watched several people taken care of before us. Didnt get into room until around 530 and had to cancel our 430 dinner reservation. Next morning was greated by very rude desk lady named leslie when asking if i could pay for another night she abruptly cut us off and told us noon is the best she could do for us. Honestly the only person who was nice to us was the young lady who worked from 4pm until 11pm. We will not be suggesting this place to any of my friends or family.

Staff were freindly and the place was clean. We had a check-in time for 3pm but when we got there, we had to wait an hour and a half to be able to fully check in due to their drying machines not working. The place is in a bad spot as well. Throughout the night we kept hearing people screaming outside and there are a lot of homeless/drug addict people in the area. We did NOT feel safe here and We will NOT be staying here again. ESPECIALLY with our baby. I hate to leave a bad review but its just what it is.
