Room was clean and staff very friendly but definitely needs renovations as things were torn apart or broken in the room. AC also didn’t work properly (kept cutting off for long periods of time).

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
I gave it 3 stars simply because it's an average hotel. The bed was comfortable. And, the sheets and room were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good. With your choice of the usual waffle, cereal and eggs. The halls, elevator and lobby had an older feel to them. people were smoking pot in tooms. My kids didnt like the smell. I'd probably stay again for the price though.

Room and grounds were clean. Shower was spotless. The desk chairs arms were chewed up but that’s probably the only negative thing. I Didnt use it anyway.
