Everything was great when I got there Habi greeted me with a big smile and he was very attentive throughout the whole time. As soon as I got there I accidentally locked myself out of the room after spilling my drink all over myself so I was hanging out in the hallway soaking wet and I had to walk down to the lobby to get some help and he was more than accommodating to get me back into my room as soon as possible. Another one of the employees helped me to the end after I had to look through the whole entire garbage can after accidentally throwing something away on my tray that I really needed and valued. I'm not usually such a wreck but I had a couple mishaps and the staff was over the top with the amount of help they gave me and the politeness with which they did it. The room was clean. The temperature in the room was great and also adjustable. Parking was easy. Located around a bunch of other stores. I would definitely stay there again.

Good enough.

Good location off the highway, clean enough, friendly enough. The only problem was the doors and walls were paper thin and I could hear my neighbors and the hallway all night long.

The property needs a serious refresh. There was mold and chipping paint on the shower floor. The furniture in the room was new and the mattress was comfortable, the layout was odd as the bed was pushed up against the room AC. The AC did work well. They did not have a record of our resevsftion, but eventually honored it after I showed proof. It seems that management is trying to improve things but they haven’t quite hit the mark.

Ok but probably won't return

The hotel was pretty nice for the price but you can hear every conversation on the floor due to thin walls, laminate floors and big gaps under the doors. Additionally, we had a squeeky bed and very noisy people right next to us until after midnight. It has a lot of potential but need to tighten up a bit.

I booked a room with 2 Queen beds for 3 person occupancy.The lady tried to give me a room with 1 King bed. I had to literally show her my reservation on my phone..One of the beds had hair on the linen... it was not ours, so that tells me the linen wasn't clean. The bathroom was dirty, dead bugs on the floor, the toilet wasn't clean, the toilet seat needed replacing. I slept in a chair, the other person slept on top of the bed ,& the 3rd person slept on the chaise. Luckily it was for 1 over night stay, we didn’t bother to shower. Absolutely Disgusting! At checkout, she had the netve to ask if we were eating breakfast. No, Thank you.

Rooms were spacious and clean. Staff accommodated our request for 2 neighboring rooms happily. Bathrooms a bit outdated with shower doors difficult to open. We had a comfortable stay and would recommend this hotel - will definitely keep it on our list to visit again!
