The staff was exceptional! Super kind and helpful. I really appreciated their service. The little store is well stacked, and the location is prone to the event center. The hotel itself was pretty run down. The caulking on the sink was coming off and brown, there were many scratches on the wall, the bed was comfortable but slanted where the foot of the bed was higher than the head, there were no plugs at the bed, and I a

This was my second time at this hotel. The place was nice and clean, service was good but I started keeping track of the disappointments…the bed was hard and squeaky, the alarm clock did not work, the wake up call did not happen, very minimal outlets available, full size fridge was nice option but loud at night, restaurant was nice with good options but the door was stuck open so it was too cold to stay.
