The stay was ok. The breakfast service attendant did a great job despite some the families and individuals taking over the entire bar with mutiple plates and members without regard to others. The rooms seemed clean but had an odor hard to identify everytime you walked in.

We stayed in rm 116. It was noisy from the outside traffic, guests in the hallway and guests above us. The carpet was wet in places near the ac & desk. The desk chair was dirty. It looked like someone spilled a liquid but we weren’t sure what it was. The beds were fine.

Parking is a little funky because it's shared with a neighboring hotel. Could use some updating, but overall a nice stay for the price.

Only bad thing happened is it rained our last day.

I have nothing bad to say about our stay. Our family of 4 came into town for a graduation we booked a room with 2 queen sized beds. The room was clean the staff was polite the breakfast was so good.The waffle maker makes the most fluffiest waffles I ever had. They keep the rooms a little cold so you sleep better and we actually slept really good.The only bad thing happened was it rained the last day and the ice machine on our floor was broke. I highly recommend this hotel.
