This hotel is good for a quick stay. Check-in was very easy and the lady at the front was extremely nice and hospitable. The only issue was the room smelled quite musty and the bathroom had dirty rags and floors. Pillows were quite lumpy and some of the sheets were dirty as well.

The room was very dirty. Wrappers from previous guests, dirt, dust, and hair in the floor. There was a hole over the shower that could’ve been a camera. There was hair in the shower. The beds appeared clean and were comfortable.

Clean and quiet. Convenient location.

I had a very nice stay. The hotel was very clean and my room was spacious especially the bathroom. The rooms have Keurig style coffee makers with an assortment of coffees and tea. There is a refigerator with a real freezer and a microwave also. Breakfast is included and there is an assortment of hot and cold food offered. The gentleman who checked me in and worked nights was very friendly and welcoming and informative. There is ample free parking and several restaurants within walking distance. There is an outdoor pool but it was off season when I was there. I would recommend this hotel.

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We had a great breakfast in the lobby. The only issue I had with the hotel was the price. I think it was a little too pricey for the area.
