Bathrooom sink backed up everyday. Parking lot with potholes, on a busy road and could hear semi's all night long. Overall, staff were courteous and helpful. I stayed 5 days. Id stay there again, but ask for other side of hotel away from road for better sleep.

First off they fully charged my credit card before I arrived without my permission, (It was reservation purpose only ,, per Expedia). Then they charged a $150 security deposit!! Tv randomly changed channels,, the a/c never kept set temp. Watch out for large pothole in entrance to parking lot. Will never return and plan on boycotting ALL comfort Inns.
