We had a super quick and easy check in. Our first room had a strong smoke odor and we asked to be moved, the manager quickly changed our room and it was so much better and no odors. Cleanliness was great. No complaints for a quick weekend!

Unpleasant. There was no heat in my room, sheets had stains, floors were dirty, and there was a red stain in the bathroom shower that I had to clean. When guests open and close their doors, it’s very loud and unsettling. I wouldn’t stay here again.

The room I originally gotten the tub wasn’t cleaned and had someone’s hair left there. I went down to the front desk and had to switch rooms due to housekeeping not being on site to clean it. The second room I was assigned was great except the front door made a loud noise when it shuts. I had a problem with staff towards the end of my stay. I had communicated with the lady that checked me in and had me switch rooms, that I would like to extend my checkout time to 12pm on Sunday. I was told any time after would be $40, I informed I understood, and she stated she would let staff know. Sunday comes and it’s shortly after 11am, I got in the shower, and moments later I hear someone constantly knocking on the door and also trying to come in. Luckily I had the top lock on the door or else I would’ve been walked in on. I was by myself and as I’m in the shower I start to feel shaky and hoping that they would at least stop. The knocking, pushing, and pulling of the door continued for 5-10 minutes. I rushed out of the shower trying to put my clothes on so I can say something. I finally hear clearly the lady say “front desk” while still tugging on the door. I told her I was in the shower and that I would be down. At this time it was shortly after 11:30am. I made my way downstairs at 11:40am and put my things in the car. I checked out at 11:43am and advised the lady at the front desk that I wanted to make a complaint. The lady informed me that she was the manager and the p

The hotel entrance and lobby needs a makeover but overall we were surprised how nice the rest of hotel and rooms were. The lobby was clean but it looked dated and the entrance was just gloomy, not welcoming. The room was spacious and very clean and modern. This was our first stay, we were here just one night but would definitely come back.
