Staff was courteous and Hotel clean. Room was a little dated and gap under the door that light and insects could come through. Woke up to a couple load noises in the night. All in all it was a good value for my stay without any hassle. Breakfast was good too!
Staff was friendly and courteous. Room is way to dark, not enough good lighting.

Long check in process. Facilities and area outside of room looked sketchy, but the room itself was actually very nice. Small bathroom. Comfortable bed.

The front desk staff at check-in was amazing! We had a dog with us. He was barking, and there were some noise complaints, but the front desk staff was very understanding when they called to notify us.
Clean Room for a little older hotel. I would recommend. Good for the price! Property grounds were spotless. I missed breakfast so cannot comment. Great parking!! I will stay there again!

The staff was pleasant and helpful. However, the hotel is showing its age. For the price I expected better. It is an older hotel. The vending machine only took exact change, and I was told to use the one at the hotel next door. We stayed there because it was close to the hospital.
The room was clean carpet def needs to go my socks were nasty lady at front desk was really nice we was on the backside of hotel and it was noisy and all we smelt was weed
