Price was great. We got the full suite & it had plenty of room. Comfortable. The breakfast was not as advertised. We went out & cooked our own. Coffee was either cold or empty every time I went for a cup. Not a good supply of condiments like shampoo or soaps. We bought our own due to their selection was terrible. The lighting was very dim. A lot we didn’t like but the things we did like were important. One important thing we noticed we didn’t like was the couch covering needed to be cleaned. It looked as if something personal was left on both cushions & dried on there. Nasty! We stayed away from the furniture! I didn’t complain about it because we didn’t stay in our room long enough to use any of the furniture except to sleep & shower. Those accommodations were well equipped for us. Wish they were better stocked with utensils as well. It was hard to cook with a loose spatula, and loose spoon.

Disgusting and rude

First, we pulled in and there was a guy standing in the parking lot panhanding and another had his vehicle up on a jack fixing it in the parking lot. Front lobby bathroom was disgusting, had to clean seat before sitting, there was a gap in the stall stuffed with TP. The receptionist was lazy and rude. There was an alarm going off the entire time we was in the lobby and all she had to do was walk over and hit a button for it to shut off, she'd rather sit there. Did not stay after this, we found accommodations elsewhere.

The night we came in the lady at the front desk was nice. Bkfast was disappointing. The room smelled stuffy and like cigarette smoke. The air conditioner didn’t work properly. We checked out early. No eye contact by the person on checkout. The lady that checked up in the night we arrived should train the other staff on customer service. Don’t think I will return to that location.

The reservation was made for a room with two beds. Upon arrival I was issued a room with ONE double bad. When I questioned the reservation I was informed I can upgrade for additional $50+ The room had a ceiling leak in the bathroom that I reported to the front dest . Later that evening , the bathroom toilet stoped flushing and becouse of the late hour I had to fix it myself. I never experience such a stay .

Upon first impression, our room looked nice and updated but soon after noticed several things that needed attention. For example a broken bathroom door, moldy looking caulking around tub, somewhat broken looking drawers on the kitchen cabinets. Also wasn't as soundproof as expected. Beds seemed clean and comfortable though. Staff was great and breakfast was as expected.
