Check in was very friendly and the hotel lobby is very nice. When I got to my room at first impression it did seem clean. Bathroom was clean and floors were clean throughout. But I turned down the first bed and noticed the sheets were dirty - lots of hair and food crumbs. Turned down the second bed and it was even worse - found hair and blood on sheets. I was too tired from traveling to request a room change so I slept on top of bedding in my full clothing because the sheets were so gross. I even kept my sweatshirt hoodie on because the pillowcases were also dirty and I didn’t want my head to touch them. Needless to say, I didn’t get much sleep in these conditions and I would not stay here again.

Clean, comfortable and cordial staff. Always greeted with genuine kindness and the staff were very diligent to help me with my payment issue. They went out of their way to reassure me that I was able to stay, and able to pay.

Friendly staff, rough rooms.

Always good service. Josh is usually at the front desk when I check in. Always accommodates me and my need for an outside room. On a different note, my rooms are rarely clean, always have food left over in the fridge and more often than not a toilet is not working in my rooms. Ive had to switch several times. Showers have been out of order before, heaters not working, etc. it was the only option allowed by my company for me to use on my route otherwise I would have stayed somewhere else for almost $100 a night. Hopefully the new GM can get it under control.
