It was in a nice area with lots around it and the staff was exceptional. My negative has to do with roaches and a buzzing noise coming from the vents. I could deal with the noise, but the roach was a no.

The staff at this hotel is excellent so kind so friendly. The lobby is beautiful. Note that this hotel does have some wear and tear, but it is *well worth* the value and the service. I would stay here again! It is a former holiday Inn express.

Great front desk service. Unfortunately the first room we checked into had not been cleaned, crumbs on the table, dank smelling and the carpet was disgusting and falling off the wall where it was stuck to & old yellow, moldy stained air conditioner. The second room we were put in there was visible mold on the lamp shades and water damage on ceiling & carpet was disgusting. Third room, passable, air quality not the best but passable. We were exhausted from 13 hours of driving so we stayed & non refundable reservation through Expedia—we were confused about the good reviews. The young lady at the front desk was amazing and helpful.
