Pet friendly accommodations with excellent service
We love staying here as they are very pet friendly! Their beds are so comfortable and the breakfast buffet has plenty choices. All the staff are friendly and helpful too!
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.

Liked: Cleanliness
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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
It is in a very average town. It was fine for what it was. The staff was nice, it was clean.
No parking near front entrance. First room was moldy. Second room also damp, broken furniture, smelled of smoke, bed uncomfortable. 2 people smoking marijuana at the front door.
The Key Cards kept deactivating, the nasty carpet floor was sticky, toilet backed up and they gave me a plunger rather than them taking care of it gross
Staff had great communications skills and the cleaning crew had made the place look like new. I travel a lot and this is one of the better values in my rounds.
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.
