The man who works the front dress and breakfast area was very rude to me, just because their key card didn’t work for me though I slid it in the usual way twice. I’ll never go back there.

Not good. Cons: The room smelled of smoke and the bedspread had a cigarette burn in it. The bathroom was actually the worst. The toilet seat looked awful and the plastic was all stained and bubbling and cracking.. we didn't even want to sit on the toilet. The bed was hard and pillow flat, we didn't sleep great at all. The ice machine was not working and there was nowhere to fill up water bottles, which is important to us since we were staying here for a baseball tournament. The breakfast was just ok since there was cereal and a waffle maker, but the bagels were hard and stale. The pros: check in was smooth, and the front desk staff was friendly. Coffee was actually pretty good. TV selection was good, AC and hot water worked great. I guess you get what you pay for, but honesly it wouldn't be that hard for them to replace the disgusting toilet seat.
