Clean but age is starting to show.

The building itself was in decent shape, You could tell that some areas was starting to age. The lobby area was in excellent shape and looked great. Phones inside the room did not work. I stayed with a pet. I believe the room smelled the way it did because it was a pet room. It was bearable but I did expect a little more. The family running the hotel were all very friendly and most spoke very good English. No problem there. The grounds were well taken care of, I did not use the pool but it looked just fine. Could use a couple of maps around the hallways and rooms for the hotel itself due to the layout. Most of the updates or upkeeps need to be done on the exterior of the building, ie extended stay building. Overall very good stay fairly reasonable prices for the area and I would recommend it to other people.

Was surprisingly bigger than I thought. Very friendly and welcoming. If I get the chance, I'll certainly stay again. Your bar area was not open though and I would have liked to have a cocktail or two before or even after visiting with friends. Perhaps next time? Thank you.

Floor number designations are very confusing. The 1st floor label on the elevator is actually the rooms with 200 #. You get on the elevator, press the 2nd floor button, and the doors open to the 3rd floor. There is no 3rd floor button in the elevator. Very confusing. I ran into another couple that was as confused as me. The desk clerk tried to explain, but it still made no sense. It would be very difficult for 1st responders
