Decent stop on a long road trip
Enjoy our 1 night stay. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean, only complaint was the “pet floor” (aka the 5th floor) has a funky smell to it. Perhaps use to be a smoking floor when that was thing, but it musty and mildew smelling.

Just kinda gross
There was nothing specifically gross, this place was just generally pretty gross. If you can swing the extra $40, book another option nearby.

Check in was very easy and the staff was appropriate. Room was clean and quiet. Carpets were old but clean. Breakfast was good but not being able to keep our dog in the dining room was inconvenient. Location was very easy to find and close to many things. Would recommend

Room smelled. Microwave broke. Had to have maintained fix. Inconvenience to our privacy.
The restaurant was very good. All personnel was very courteous. Hotel needs an upgrade. Internet kept kicking me off my iPad.

I would not go here again
Room floor was damp the whole time, bathroom the smallest I've ever seen in a hotel, room was missing tissue boxes, and there was a loud party outside one night that went until 3 am and no one called the cops from the front desk. Overall, not a great experience. Noisy location out the window the whole trip too.
