The ac kept turning off. My twin babies, my son, husband, and i didn't sleep well. It got so stuffy in the room that the babies cried almost all night. We told the lady at front desk at check out but she said the ac freezes and we just have to wait for it to melt so it can turn on again, whoch took hours.

Less than expected

The employees were very, very nice. The motel was old and had a facelift, but the wallpaper was peeling. The bed was not comfortable and the room was so small that I could hardly get around the queen size bed.

Convenient location. Comfortable bed and pillows. Clean room and bathroom. Cute little fridge. Very friendly staff! Very noisy location. Small bathroom and no closet at all. Very low water pressure and no HOT water. No microwave in room. Breakfast is fruit, yogurt, muffins, and a waffle maker present. Given the price, I would not stay again.

You get what you pay for. The hotel is nothing special worthy of a high price night, but if you are looking something mid-range, this is a good fit. The hotel is well maintained and nothing feels old. But dont expect a nice breakfast or a good time at the bar. We stayed over the weekend and the bar was completely enmpty and breakfast was only carbs - bagels, apple, banana, muffins, toast or cereal. They also had yougurt but nothing special - just the cheap, high sugar, kind. Room was clean and somewhat modern, but the bathroom fan was so loud, it could not be used while someone slept. It met our needs for the trip but I wouldn't consider it a "vacation" type place - just a clean room to spend the night.

This property is disgusting. It's in a weird part of town, just off of the campus enough that it's super sketchy. Then, from the moment you walk in the front door, you're assaulted with the smell. The carpets were filthy and the whole place was gross. We checked in and went to our room only to find that there was blood on the carpet and just disgusting floors and surfaces. We didn't stay. It was too gross. Upon leaving, the manager tried to claim that the blood in the carpet was wine, but it was pretty obviously blood as wine wouldn't have looked like that. And, even if we ignore the blood, everything else was filthy as well. How could I sleep in the bed when everything is so dirty that the bed probably is too. The manager refused to give us any of our money back, but it was worth losing the money to ensure my personal health. This place is a pit. Don't stay here!

Place was nice, front desk staff nice, but the Peloton in the gym (has the Peloton bike and a treadmill) was not authorized under a subscription. This should be easy for them to do. Also it has special clip pedals instead of flat pedals so harder to ride even if it worked.

This was one of the nicer hotels I’ve stayed at in awhile. Be careful, though! The beds are VERY comfy, so try not to sleep in too much! They had a great coffee machine in the lobby and a wide variety of tea as well. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. I only wish they had more than one entrance / exit so I could sneak out the side more easily to and from my room. But overall, a great stay!
