The staff was nice. The room had a couple flies and it smelled stale. The Staff was nice and offered another room, but the family was not having it. We went across the street to AVID hotel. I lost a little money, after booking via expidea-due to cancelation. Hopefully Expidea can credit me a room at a later date. *God will provide!

The staff and amenities are fine. The room we had (#136), it was not in good condition. The bathroom was not good. There was mold around the tub. The walls and ceiling were splotchy with different paints from multiple patchings. The sink area was close to the same. I would not stay here again for the price that I paid.

Great Breakfast and Staff

The breakfast was very good. The lady working the breakfast area was extra super nice and accommodating. She made sure everyone had what they requested, kept the food areas refilled, kept the tables clean, and even brought e a bottle of water when I was checking out. My room was clean, but the carpet is old and not as clean. The bathtub didn't drain. The in room coffee machine was clean and stocked with good coffee. Overall, my stay was enjoyable and I will stay there again.
