Space is good, beds were comfortable. Pull out mattress was stained and the sheets were missing. There is black mold in the shower, hair on the ceiling, hairdryer had not been cleaned in some time, and an already opened bar of soap on the counter. There is also a safety hazard with the light above the shower exposed, having no cover to it. The deposit for incidentals was also double what I paid last year. Front desk staff was friendly though.

Front desk staff were very friendly and efficient when checking us in, breakfast was filling with a good selection to choose from. Our room was clean with plenty of towels. Our only complaint- pillows were too soft. Overall, a good experience.

Needed a room for my disabled sister for the Thanksgiving holiday. She had another great stay. Check in took under 5 minutes, the room was clean and comfy and quiet. It was another great stay. Thanks!

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was in OK condition, it wasn’t dirty, but furnishings were dated and worn. TV had a defect where there was a big dialogue box covering up about 20% of the screen that they couldn’t get off. One of the desk guys did come up and try to help and I give him credit for that. It was just overall a mid-level hotel.
