Very clean! I was afraid to book because of comments I saw about it being old and dirty. In my opinion and personal experience the hotel was great. It was very clean. I saw workers constantly cleaning around. And breakfast was pretty good. Workers were cleaning the tables and refilling constantly. Overall great experience.

The property could use some updates including new beds. Those were the most uncomfortable beds I've slept on in quite some time.

Overall we had a nice and quiet stay. Staff was helpful and courteous. Room was clean, with a comfortable bed, and quiet surroundings. Got a good night sleep. Breakfast started promptly at 6am with a decent variety of items. Parking was convenient. We selected this hotel vs others primarily based on comments regarding security concerns at other locations. We didn't notice any security issues. A couple of things I would suggest: 1. a couple of water bottles in the refrigerator would be nice touch. 2. replace some of the carpeting. No mayor issues. I would stay again in the future if needed.
