Parking was safe..The hotel smelled musty, room and walls were dirty behind main door was splattered stuff on walls..mold in bathroom and for 3 adults for 2 nights we got 2 towels and 2 hand towels and 2 wash cloths. I know i dont want to share a dirty wash cloth. 2nd day i asked for 3 towels go 2 so had to get anotherone. The room also had a musty smell also and window curtain was hanging down on 1 side. And no i will never stay again it was a last minute thing. People at desk were pleasant. Breakfast both days were same and no hot eggs.im not a McDonald's fan but the hotels was worse. I feel they should of paid me to stay there

The staff makes this a great place to stay

The one downside was there are only two handicap parking places. Definitely the upside was the two lovely ladies that work the front desk. They were fun to talk to, laugh with and they showed concern for my daughter who was recovering from ankle surgery. Yes, the beds were comfortable. Yes the room felt safe and offered relaxation. But it is BECAUSE OF THEM I will consider staying here again. We had my other daughter's small dog staying with us. They loved on her and were excited ( along with a friend's daughter) to see her daily. Maple was also looking for them and was overjoyed to see them everytime we came down for a potty break. They were an excellent representation of how this hotel felt more like coming home, home to neighbors that made you feel welcome and included. Everytime we seen them they were cleaning or refreshing the place. Their dedication to service was marvelous. I know if Maple stays there again, she will be looking for their attention.
