Very good

I booked a two room suite online, when I arrived they put me in someone else’s room. A tiny single queen room. Had to go back to the desk to get things sorted. Finally got into my suite only to hear interstate traffic all night long. Not a place to stay if you want sleep.
Common areas, hallways and elevator especially, had a funky smell. Our room which was on the West end, would not cool below 74 degrees until after midnight. Bed was very uncomfortable.
The staff are outstanding! Jen was fantastic!! She checked us in and made sure we had everything for an outstanding stay!! She was so friendly and knowledgeable! She made us feel so welcome! Thanks so much for a great stay!!!
The hotel was conveniently located and offered an affordable rate, which made it a good choice for a short stay. However, not all amenities were available for guests to enjoy, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was an okay experience—suitable if you're looking for basic accommodations in a good location
As a female traveling alone on a 1500 mile rdrive with a service pup, and some special needs I couldn’t have been more grateful for JEN
I travel a lot and with some medical constraints. It’s very frustrating to feel like an imposition on ANYONE especially in the “hospitality” industry . JEN SMILED at my pup and I and wasn’t condescending and also allowed for the fact that sometimes the medical necessity of a service animal is t obvious . She treated my pup and I as if we were welcomed guests in our own home .. Which these days is a rarity ✨⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The room was clean and the staff was friendly. Unfortunately there were bed sheets out in a pile down the hall from my room and what looked like a shower curtain was in a crumple by my door. They had a sign in the elevator to please not place trash outside in the hallways...it wasn't the cleanest hotel I've been too.
There was Hair on the towels and hair in the bathroom.

Nice place to stay
Carpets need cleaning or replace with tiles, paint needs to be touched up, need a coffee pot in the room, needs cleaning supplies especially dish detergents.
