Never answered messages sent. Refused to switch hotels, which I know is a me problem, but i was trying to honor their brand. I wont book with this hotel chain since they couldn't be bothered to even respond.

We have a good stay overall and for the price point you can’t really beat it. I wish the amenities like the soup which fell apart after one use was better and there was a pool on site but other than that. Great value

The magnetic card door locks are a disaster. I had to get the card reprogrammed every time I returned to the property. Fix the problem!

I gave it a 3 to balance the previous reviews. We had the impression it was a very nice hotel, but in reality it was a nice enough highway hotel. The staff was good, the hotel condition is good. But the walls are thin, it's right on the highway and the Continental breakfast is very small. Couple of cereal options, bagels and bread for toast.
