Old hotel
We stayed for one night. WiFi didn’t work. We asked the front desk for help. They reset it but didn’t resolve the issues. There was no curtain to black out the street lights for the room.

Toilet never stopped running and eventually would not go down. When told staff after waiting for someone to appear for 15 mins they handed us a plunger.
House keeping did not stop in on a two night stay.

My room was not cleaned during my stay. I’m very disgusted and disappointed. Left the room around noon on 9/4 to attend an event. Stopped at the front desk on my way to ask for more toilet paper when the room is clean. I was then told that I had to ASK for my room to be cleaned during check-in. I WAS NOT TOLD THIS AT !!! My room was never cleaned I only received the toilet paper that I asked for and new toilet. The room was also loud from the a/c and the guest upstairs. I have a recording. The room was $398. I will never stay there again and will advise other to avoid this property. What a waste of money!!!!!

I was very happy with my recent stay at Comfort Inn. The location was convenient to everything, the room was very clean and updated, the staff was helpful and friendly and the breakfast was better than expected. The room had a microwave and mini fridge which was helpful. The bed was very comfortable. The room had everything we needed. We had a great stay!

One of the better places to stay
Have stayed at this hotel below. Really enjoyed the bed. Definitely showing it’s age but fine for an overnight stay. Breakfast was so so quality-wise (too carby/sugary) but there were eggs and English muffins so that was good. Coffee was good too.

Room was dirty and smelled like smoke. There was mold on the ceiling, and the light that shined into the room made it hard to sleep even with the torn shade. It was way over priced and disgusting. Don’t stay here!
