Not the worst but not the best....
Asked for a room on the top floor weeks in advance and although I know it's not a given, all the lady on the front desk could say was that they were fully booked???? (she was Miss Personality for sure) and as I thought there was a herd of elephants wearing hob nailed boots in the room above. Why can't they build a hotel with good soundproofing???? surely in 2024 they should've come up with an answer? The bed seemed small for a Queen, the fridge was loud which seems to be a given. The crockery and glasses had been washed in a slapdash manner. The water was scalding hot which I kinda liked but not sure it would've been good to a small child. The room was clean, it was lacking in towels, two very small and thin bath towels and one hand towel. Free coffee in the lobby, the bold blend was indeed bold.... The Red Roof Inn behind the hotel appears to be budget housing or migrant housing. There was a bunch of kids playing soccer on the car park and the ball managed to hit a few cars in the preferred parking spots back there. All in all not the worst place I've stayed in and thankful that I didn't get a room with a connecting door!

We came back from dinner, and before heading upstairs to our room, we asked that extra blankets/sheets and pillows were available for the pull out couch and was told yes.. we got in our room and settled in, got ready for bed. Starting looking for the blanket/sheets and pillows and found a pillow in bedroom on floor beside chair and random pillow case in front closet.. so we called downstairs (called 4 times- kept going to out voicemail) finally on the 5th try someone answered- we asked about the linen and was told to check the couch - we opened it up and it was completly bare - she then advised us " okay well we have them here at the desk.." i answered " oh we have to come down and get it???..." Yes - well had to get changed to go down and get our blanket and linens.. not what i expected, any other hotel would have brought up missing items to the room.. not great service 😕

Lobby and rooms were clean. Front desk was polite and helpful. Very convenient to UB Flint road entrance. Right behind this hotel however is the Red Roof Inn which really brings down the property value. I don’t know if people live there or not but we saw laundry hanging on the balcony and some sketchy looking activity. Otherwise this hotel is good. I love the fact that the rooms have kitchenettes and refrigerators. Would stay here again.

Our major issue was that they revised their pet policy, resulting in extra charges. This was not the policy stated in the web site where we boooked

Our major issue was that they changed the pet policy, unbeknownst to us, resulting in an extra charge. The pet policy as stated in Orbitz is inaccurate.

The room was clean and spacious. However, it was a bit noisy and it would be great if the wind from air conditioner could be directed away from the bed.
