Liked: Staff & service
Light above the sink didn't work at all and the floor wasn't as clean as it could be. The AC controls appeared to be in Celsius, which is fine for me, but may be a bigger issue for some. The room was cozy and fairly clean. The bedding had what appeared to be a couple of small stains, but was clean and comfortable otherwise. The bed allowed for a good night's sleep. Good value overall.

The staff was very friendly. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable; the pillows were very flat. Breakfast consisted of instant oatmeal, dry cereal, or toast/bagels. I would have liked some fresh fruit, a yogurt, or some hard-boiled eggs-something with protein.

Room was clean. Door lock was loose and the door didn't close tight. We asked about changing rooms, but was told that we would not be bothered. We moved the table in front of the door for peace of mind. A hole in the bathroom door and trim loose in bathroom with several water damaged ceiling tiles.

Decent night stay

The rooms were in good condition with comfortable beds. The hotel was not very full and we were placed in the room around the back of the hotel. Parking lot was not very well lit but the room was quiet. We were traveling with a dog and they were accommodating with a ground level room.

3rd time is not a charm... 1st room was awesome... 2nd stay the room was ok... 3rd time around... I had to shove the door open & when closed the door was not sealed on top, there was a hole like it was kicked in by the door, the tub had a really bad black spot in it, the floor was not clean looking the bedspread had stains on it & when complained to staff, their response was very rude. Not staying there again

This hotel cost us 4x the standard price because of graduation weekend for the University. $200 per night. That said, the room was clean and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. Don’t expect more than cereal and yogurt for breakfast, and the motel rooms next to the interstate will certainly not be sound proof. It’s not a resort. It will suffice for an overnight stay.
