Decent, clean, good location and price.

Location is great. Parking easy and free. Staff pleasant. Had to ask at desk how to access wifi as room instructions were inaccurate and phone did not call to front desk. Room in main tower was nice and spacious although bathroom was some disrepair (toilet not affixed to floor and wobbled). Could use some updates. However for the price I thought it was a good option.

Horrible experience

The rooms were dirty. Looked like mold on the floor and the bathroom floors were filthy. We couldn't get the room temp to regulate. Had some roaches crawl on the floor. Overall it felt super gross. If i would have been able to change hotels i would have. I would love a refund on this room

The shower drainage in my room was bad 3 inches or 4 inches of water by the time I was done showering so I reported it to the front desk and he said he'd take care of it and he didn't kind of funky if a woman was staying at the room. Coffee was great but the morning breakfast was terrible
