It is clean but is definitely an older hotel with fresh paint. Old style ac and bathroom. Continental breakfast leaves a lot to be desired! We were not even sure what some of it was so we tried the cereal and it was stale so we left for breakfast.

Free breakfast was not the best. The hot food was, half done, tator tots, well done chicken nuggets and a potato, corn and sausage casserole, the sausage was sooooo spicy I dad to spit it out.

Not the worst stay i've had but not the best either. The room was clean, no problems checking in. Breakfast was horrible. If you can even call that breakfast. So gross!!! They had some kind of concoction of corn, chorizo, with hashbrowns. They had burnt chicken nuggets and it looks like microwaved tater tots. One plus is that they have a waffle maker, but only one so good luck getting a waffle with all the people waiting. They have a yogurt machine and an expresso machine and they dont even work ughhh!!! Ok thats enough about the breakfast sorry, its just frustrating when there were so many good reviews for the breakfast online. The lady up front was very nice and helpful. ..... Oh yeah, no trashcans anywhere, i had a couple bags of trash i needed to throw away but there werent any bins anywhere. I had to go all the way to the front lobby to throw trash away, so crazy... its like they want you to be messy. Not coming back ever again!!! Oh yeah, the window shades do not block out the very powerful front lights that are on 24/7, so if you have a room on the front side, good luck sleeping if you like it dark. Thats all bye

A Comfy Night

The staff was very professional and eager to help. The room was clean with few frills, but very comfortable. I will stay here again.

The hotels photo give the impression of a much nicer hotel. The hotel was definitely much more worn than the photos reflect. It wasn’t a horrible stay but the walls are thin and the amenities were very dated. The toilet didn’t flush well and the shower was just ok. The elevator is a bit scary but the breakfast was nice wish it had more options but it was ok. Wouldn’t stay more than 1 night

Great place, money well spent.

Great place to stay for a wrekend get away. Always someone at the desk or available if you have questions. My only issue is, if youre not inside the room with the door locked, the door is easy to open from outside. (Well, our room was) but we didnt have any issues with anyone entering the room while we were away. (I always put cameras in out hotel rooms)

This hotel claims to be newly renovated and nice but it was very dingy and run down. The comforter had at least 3 stains and the walls were dirty. We stayed in an ADA room and the shower bench was moldy and rusty. Overall this hotel was not clean and I will not be staying there again.
