Room condition is fair and needs a remodel. Carpet is bunched up and needs replacing. Not worth $140 night. Even nearby Motel 6 rooms are in better condition at a lower price.

The room was nice and clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that we were right by the stairs, so there was lots of foot traffic, and the walls were very thin. There was lots to hear on a Saturday night:)
