There was no elevator. The breakfast was not great just cereal, yogurts, bread/cereal, and waffle machine. The said they remodeled the room was fine but the bathroom was not clean and there was spray paint all over the door. The hallways were iffy and there were weird smells in the hallways at all times.

I think the building looked run down, cracked glass on the door, not all doors were working to get in and out of the hotel. It didn’t look too appealing for the price we paid. Yes it was close to where we had to go, but the price was ridiculous for that one night stay.

Let me start with the positives. The lady at the front desk was very nice. She seems to be working three peoples jobs. We checked in at 9 PM and she told us that she only had two rooms left and one was on the second floor, and the other was on the first floor. This seemed odd because we made the reservation several months ago and thought that we had requested the room to be close together. She also told us that they were still cleaning rooms from the night before which also seemed odd being that it was 9 PM. The room was in serious need of an update. It looks like they were in the middle of a remodeling project that was being done by a friend of theirs. There was spackle all over the tub. The door would not close to the bathroom all the way. There was painters tape on the door. There were stains on the walls. There was fabric missing from the chairs. The room itself was in a word noisy. The fridge made terrible noise all night. The air conditioner is extremely loud and keeps you up with the entire night. The windows do not help insulate from all the parking lot sounds. The door does not help insulate from the hallway sounds. In a nutshell, we barely slept. This went for both rooms on the first floor and on the second floor. In the morning we had breakfast which was bagels muffins and two waffle makers. The waffle makers were very nice but the entire room for everyone to work in was maybe 150 sq ft. Not a good hotel.

Great staff. Excellent service. Will be back.

The staff was so kind and truly helped eith everything. We had our 1 year old with us and they were so great to him. Even heated the pool so my boyfriend could take him swimming while I was doing stuff for my job. We extended our stay by a day and they were so accommodating. The room was clean and updated and staff was quick to help. Already booked again.

As I was checking out, the power to the entire building went out. I am not sure for how long or how often this happens but there was no weather that would cause it and the staff seemed to take it in stride, which makes me think it is not an unusual occurrence. Losing power is not their “problem”. When I checked in, I tried to do the first thing I always do in a hotel, turn on the tv. It didn’t work and no one answered when I called. I left the hotel for a meeting and when I came back, the front desk was unmanned and still no tv. Didn’t work the entire stay and without option to tell anyone. I forgot to mention when I checked out due to the power outage and being more concerned about that and accompanying issues.
