Staff was friendly and efficient. Hotel is located right off of 81 so it was easy to get two different destinations. The bed was super comfortable along with the pillows and everything was very clean. The only thing that was a bit of a challenge was parking, but the event that we were there for seemed to prove a challenge for the Entire area. I would return to this hotel again.

The room was a standard hotel room but the bathroom was newly renovated and very nice although it needs a door because there is no changing area unless you get changed in front of the toilet which is not my style. The breakfast food and coffee was terrible. Luckily, the Dunkin was around the corner. I felt safe as they have security cameras on the premises and can see everything which made me feel relieved since I had never been to that area. All in all it was a good experience, I would stay there again. The grocery store is right across the street which was another plus and Dollar store is right next door.

Room was to be a non-smoking room. Unfortunately, a prior guest did smoke in the room, leaving a stench. The front desk apologized for the issue and provided a new room which would be available in an hour. Unfortunate, but everything was done to try to make things right. Front desk gentleman was excellent.

The room was good. The showers were excellent and the room very clean and well decorated. Didn’t know they charged $25.00 extra for dogs. 😡 We had a late check in, so they don’t allow anyone into the lobby. We had to check-in within and alcove-kind of creepy. The breakfast was subpar, but fine. There were fresh apples, toast, fake eggs, biscuits with chipped beef and juices. The ice machines were great. Overall, a good stay.

Catfish hotel

From the second you pull in you know you made a mistake. I literally drove the second half of my 10 hour drive rather than staying here. I booked on hotels.com and the pictures are completely fake. The lobby looked NOTHING like the images. The room didnt have what was pictured. Theres a little indoor area you had to walk through to get from the front to the back and there was just someone in there staring at people. The inside of my door looked like someone had taken a hammer to it and the outside looked like it had been tagged and painted over. We walked in and walked right out. Theres a reason they dont allow cancelations. The guy at the front desk was nice, didnt sound surprised at all when we said we were leaving. They have a drag and drop response for bad reviews. Saying you updated all of these things in no way reflects issues like the lobby photo being so edited we had to try to look for matching items to think it was the same place. Or that the door showed visible signs that people had tried to break in before. Or the substance abuse visible in the parking lot. Its good you are updating. But until it is updated the photos you use should in some way accurately portray the space. Between that, incidentals when that are higher than the standard, and the refusal to answer hotels.com when they called about my issues, its obvious you make money off people booking a room they think will be a good value and then leaving
