Disliked: Amenities
No breakfast limited tv channels not a smart tv so I couldn’t log into my Netflix account like I do everywhere else. Limited towels and the towels were rough. No locks or knob on the door in the back so I didn’t feel secure and safe anyone could’ve just walked in the building without a key and the staff were hardly never around also the staff could’ve been more professional and friendlier

Kind of disappointed they didn't even have a breakfast setup or coffee. Asked for toilet paper and a guy that was behind the desk gave me a half of a roll. The shower curtain was ripped the shower had some type of back wash in the bottom of the drain when I got the room. If I could get more money outt the ob im working on i definitely would be getting a better room elsewhere

Great place to stay

Clean and comfortable rooms with comfortable beds. The lady at the front desk at night is the sweetest, kindest most helpful and most accommodating person in a hotel I have ever met. She will help you with anything possible and will make sure that you are 100% comfortable with everything in your room. Much appreciated especially when you're traveling with a toddler.
