Book this hotel for six of my employees, and they all reported back to me stating that the place wasNot a clean place, they found roaches in all the rooms were in, everything is outdated, hot water stopped working and that one of their trucks got the hitch stolen in the parking lot. When you were employer, you always looking for the comfort and safety of your employees, and this place does not meet the expectations for any employees or family. Just don’t do it..

Booked solely on the reviews and pictures.....atleast could have mowed the grounds...got to the room and it something you would expect a frat party would stay. Put our stuff down and left to get something to eat. My wife did not want to stay there. Came back and checked out immediately. Asked for refund and was told bo refunds.

When I walked in the lobby at check-in, I almost turned and left because of the overwhelming smell of Marijuana in the air. I'm not sure who was blazing up in a no smoking hotel, but the entire place reeked of it. Breakfast was a HUGE disappointment and certainly not up to BW standards. The eggs were cold to the touch (below room temperature) and the microwave in the dining area didn't work. As for the usual things considered the norm in most hotel breakfasts, no butter, no artificial sweetener, no yogurt or fruit. As for the staff, both were friendly, and I felt sorry for the daytime guy. He had to man the front desk while also having to prepare and serve breakfast.

False advertising

Everything was great except next to no breakfast. Don’t advertise full hot breakfast and at 7:30 am there is absolutely nothing to eat except for 3 bagels
