Decent room, great breakfast

The hotel looks older and could use renovating. The room seemed decently clean but smelled musty. The continental breakfast in the morning had many choices and was the best part of the stay.

Felt unsafe around area. Beds were soft and sheets felt old. Tv was small and remote was hard to operate. No place to charge technology. Breakfast eggs were soggy. We won’t be returning.

Okay but

My expectations, set by the online pictures, weren't met during my stay. The carpet was old and dark, and the pool area had a distinct, musty odor, suggesting it wasn't well-maintained. Given this experience, I will try to avoid both this specific hotel and its brand in the future.

Great Stay

We stayed for 4 nights and everything went smoothly. The breakfast was full of options, the room was in good condition, the hallways were clean, and the elevator was nice. They did not have Do not destirb signs, but if you asked the front desk for no cleaning they make a note, and the housekeepers will give you a little sign if you ask them. They were very nice about it and told us if we needed anything to just ask as they were going by or the front desk. Pretty decent location, tucked back but right near many fast food and shopping places. Right next to the mall! The only weird encounter was a man sleeping out in an office chair under a tree. Overall we felt pretty safe.

Property is very clean. Staff is very friendly. Breakfast was pretty good the first day (waffles scrambled eggs bacon sausage links biscuits gravy cold cereal toast bagels juices, yogurt fruit) not so good the second day.. scrambled eggs were very watery. Beds we're not very comfortable. They are very hard and can almost feel the springs.

Good value

Hotel was very clean, comfortable and breakfast selection was good. Check in person appeared to be more appropriate for a non customer service type of position instead of greeting customers
