Above and Beyond

Excellent service from Trisha! She went above and beyond, and we really appreciate it. A small suggestion: it would be great to have an extra folding chair in the closet so two people can sit down for dinner together. Finally, We will definitely make this our first option the next time we're in the area.

Dirty and nasty

When I walked into my room it smelled like mildew. Upon setting my things down and getting ready to shower, I realized they only gave me one towel when it’s 2 adults listed on the reservation so I had to go back downstairs and ask the front desk for towels. Setting my things down in the bathroom to shower and I realized the toilet is dirty “ fecal matter on toilet seat” , there’s hair all on the toilet seat as well. There’s poop residue on the toilet. After cleaning the bathroom I shower quickly and get out to look through my bag and I spot something on the floor , as I look closer I realize it’s a dead roach. The carpet is wet so that’s where the smell of mildew is coming from. The sheets and blankets are dirty. I will never stay here again. It’s pure disgusting

The staff were kind and professional, and they answered any questions I had. My only point to add is that the coffee is in the laundry and gym room. I would like to suggest that it be placed somewhere in the main entry area as a welcoming offer to the guest. I was there for four days, and I only found out about it when I was using the gym one day. Other than that, I look forward to returning soon.
