Disappointed the fire safety door didn’t close completely on the 1st floor. The toilet was dirty under the rim and the sink was dirty behind the faucet. The bottom sheet elastic was worn out on both beds. The TV remote control function worked poorly even after changing batteries. Staff were very pleasant.

Breakfast was decent and staff were friendly and responsive. HOWEVER, when i got in bed there were, what appeared to be, old dried blood stains on the sheets. I was given another set of sheets and found the same. I took pictures.

We had a late check in. Staff was knowledgeable and efficient at getting us checked in. The room was clean. The parking lot is oddly shaped so if you are towing, you may need to use the previous parking lot and walk.

The room was super clean and the staff were nice but very quiet. The breakfast was really good except for the coffee....eewww The pillows were super soft which is great but the bed was lumpy and hard as a rock so we didn't sleep well. There was no phone in the room but the hotel was pleasantly quiet. It served its purpose and for the price, yes I would stay there again......just bring my own coffee.

Plastic mattress cover was torn and coming off. No mattress pad was put on the bed. Front desk staff was helpful and brought one up quickly. TV remote didn't really work and no replacement batteries were available (though I think the remote itself was broken).

The place was pretty disgusting. I feel bad for the staff. They were absolutely amazing.. I had to clean the drains out of my own bathtub and wash out all of the hair and that I’ve been stuck in there.
