Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The stay was great, clean room, nice amenities. $200 will be held on hold from your bank or credit card account as a deposit upon check in. It will NOT be reversed upon checkout as was told by front desk. “Oh yeah, it’ll go right back there tomorrow when you check out!”. Not just a card on file for incidentals. I think this should be more clear. It wasn’t an issue for me, but people should be aware of how this ACTUALLY works. Honesty goes a long ways. While the room and everything else was great, there was a great degree of mistrust caused.

Room wasn’t clean. There was blood on the sheets when we pulled the comforter back. They came up and remade the bed. Asked for clean towels and toilet paper never got them house keeping never did anything the 4 days we stayed. Ended up goin to Walmart and buying toilet paper and towels. Hotel stinks to holy hell of weed and the person working the desk at night is high as kite all night . 2 mornings in a row by 6:30 in the morning they’re out of hot breakfast. Cereal and toast only. Was told they was gonna adjust our bill. Went to check out and the Manager seemed clueless about it all said she would check me out and email a copy of our bill after she got off the phone with her general manager. Still haven’t gotten that email and now when I call them no one answers the phone. I wouldn’t let my dogs stay there let alone my family ever again.

Room was warm and clean; the bed and pillows were very comfortable. (We stayed in the winter) The staff were courteous and the dining area was clean with breakfast well stocked. We had requested a quiet room on the third floor and the staff were happy to accommodate this. The hotel is older but well kept. If you are traveling on a budget, this is all you need!
