Better than last stay; however, I wish housekeeping would have not been so loud in the morning, yelling across the way. If you want to sleep in, make sure you tape a sign that says, "Do not disturb" because they will knock on your door and wake you up!

Room was just okay. But they gave me a Handicapped Room. I Hate HANDICAP ROOMS. The only good thing about the room was Excellent Air conditioning and NO SOFT WATER. It was clean enough. The bed wasn't very comfortable.

Stayed here as one of 5 in a row of "budget" stays on a road trip. This was by far the dirtiest room I stayed in - maybe ever. Nicotine seeping from the dirty walls, food splattered in front of microwave, dead bugs, plus unidentifiable gunk & chunks in the air condtioner. The best thing I can say about it was that the sheets were clean - but I was glad to move on. The young woman at the front desk was charming and helpful - but I doubt she runs the place.

I paid for a king, reserved a king, but when I got there, all they had was a double bed room is what they said. At 9:42 the next day, they kept knocking on our door. DID NOT APPRECIATE THAT SINCE WE DIDNT HAVE TO BE OUT UNTIL 11:00

AC was set at 61when I arrived but was easily adjusted to my comfort. The room smelled wonderfully of peppermint! Most of these older hotels can’t get rid of the bad odors. I also love that the floor is not carpeted that’s another way to get rid of bad odors. The young man who checked me in was very accommodating.
