Customer service was above and beyond outstanding. Sherry, Ashley, and Brandy were extremely kind and helpful in every way and made our stay the best it could be. They were so accommodating and deserve the highest praise. I suggest breakfast hours be extended until 10am, at least. The room was non-smoking but clearly a previous guest had smoked cigarettes. You could upgrade the fridge and couch. However, the hot tub with jets was an amazing luxury. The bed was very comfortable and clean as was the whole bedroom and bathroom area. The living area could’ve been a little cleaner and nicer.

Parking was not safe. People loiter outside of the hotel a lot. The staff is cool when they are present but not enough to make up for the terrible location
Cracked wood paneling that causes the floor around it to sink
Light fixture was broken in bathroom
Insane amount of scratches on floor. I’m assuming it’s from the couch pulling in and out, but the whole area needs to be redone

Not as expected.

Rooms were remodeled on the inside, but the exterior wasn’t great. Expected a much nicer stay based on the listing photos. Large gap under the door so you could hear everything happening outside very clearly.
