When we got to our room there was a slight musty odor, but once we turned down the AC and turned up the fan it improved. There was some mold in shower, but would stay here again.

Not my type of hotel

We just spent 1 night here, the breakfast was scarce, the milk was frozen (my kids weren't able to have milk in their cereal). We were just looking to spend the night, so it met its purpose, but it is not a place where I'd stay again, or longer.

Property area well kept, easy to find parking, plenty of towels and soaps in room, and friendly hotel staff. However my room could definitely use improvements. Upon entering the room, a strong odor of cigarette smoke would hit you and it would be more noticeable when a/c fan was off or turned down, Both queen beds dipped near the headboard which made it difficult to sleep comfortably. Floor needed to be mopped and swept better there was a collection of dead bugs under the a/c unit and bottom of my feet would get black from just walking in the room, no hot water in kitchen, bathroom sink nor shower - it stayed cool or lukewarm, can hear all noises clear as day from outside.

Very happy with our stay. Room comfortable and clean. Only concerns that I had was the court yard was very nice the only downside was there was a smoking area there and smokers using that area caused the whole area outside our door to smell of cigarette smoke. Breakfast was good, pancake maker was pretty nice. Only downside was staff didn’t keep egg and sausage station stocked as quickly as needed resulting in empty trays after breakfast rushes.

They don't have microwaves in all the rooms anymore, breakfast is the same everyday and opens a couple of minutes late regularly. Looks like it was a really nice place once. Homeless around the area are a problem. Drug pipe in laundry area. No safes in rooms either. some employees are great others just there and don't care. I can't recommend it.
