Room had no microwave, ice bucket or light bulbs in light fixtures. I went to the front desk to ask for an ice bucket and was told they didn’t have any and they couldn’t go into an empty room to get one. “Breakfast” was cold cereal and some oatmeal packets.

It was convenient to where we wanted to be. The staff who checked us in were not on the friendly side. Answering questions seemed a bother. The lady who checked us out was extremely nice, though. One of our rooms did not have a shower curtain. The rooms were clean, but wont be staying here again.

Value hotel - potential for improvement

Charged full amount upfront instead of just getting authorization. Told me to contact Hotels.com for refund due to checkout two days sooner. Breakfast items were few and often run out without replenishment. Cleaning service was skipping room when I was out for work. On positive side, I was upgraded to a better room. The management needs to improve. Value hotel - could be better.

Room smelled like smoke. Leaving AC on entire time helped with smell. I was told every room had a microwave, but mine didn’t. Was told they would get me one but never saw one. TV missing remote, they didn’t have any extra. It’s good I didn’t have time to watch tv anyways. For the price I paid, room was fine. It was clean. I needed inexpensive price for 4 nights and I got what I paid for. Lots of food choices around hotel also, which is a nice bonus.

I slept very good. The beds were comfortable . The hotel was clean. Water was hot and tv had many channels available. The rate was only 48.00, which may be why alot of amenities were tagged as out of service. The laundry room , the business center, and even the ice machine were tagged out of service. Still a 2 nights Peaceful rest.
