10/10 Exceptional

The staff was very friendly with us. The only thing that I did not like is that our key cards kept deactivating even without having them near our cell phones.

Preston, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Front desk guys very professional/courteous/helpful. Seems to be a high traffic on right side with women getting in and out of cars and food containers scattered about on the ground. Being from the area originally and have stayed there for over 30 years, seems kinda sad this is tolerated.
Derek, 1-night trip

Perfect price for purpose intended

Quick trip to town to drop family member off at the Airport. Price was great for the purpose that we needed it. No problems. Would definitely recommend.

I've stayed in worse

When we checked in we had to wait while the employee was fixing issues- which is fine in itself- but then we found stains on our sheets and our mini fridge did not work. When asked to just swap these items we were told it would be done and wasn't which caused our food to go bad. They ended up swapping us to a new room which the bed in was pretty awful. Paint was falling off the walls and the wifi was barely useble. The guy at the desk on the afternoons was great and breakfast (and the breakfast attendant) was good as well.

Enkelejda, 8-night trip

6/10 Good

EVERYTHING smelled like weed

Pros: The hotel was clean, staff was friendly, beds were pretty comfortable, hot breakfast, and convenient location. Cons: The entire hotel smelled like marijuana. Literally the entire hotel: the parking lot, the elevator, hallways, and everything in the rooms (bed linens, carpet, towels etc). On arrival, the hallway on the floor with our rooms was actually smokey. I told the staff at the front deck about the smoke and they said they would “look into it”. The smoke and smell was so bad that it stuck to our clothes and hair. We embarrassing arrived at a wedding with our family smelling like weed. We stayed two nights and smoke situation was TERRIBLE the entire stay. We also saw people (unsure if they were guests, staff, or non hotel people)) smoking weed and drinking out of brown paper bags in the parking lot. Morning to night, this place was smokey and stinky. The hotel is older, but clean and comfortable. Had it not been for all weed smoke/stink, we would consider staying again.
Christopher, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Average for the money!

They stay was wonderful and the staff was great at all my requests except for the extra pullows. However, as i was in my 4oom to drink the coffee the machine didnt work and there was still a used pod in the machine. The bed was nice but the tub in the bathroom was dirty and the sink clogged up so i could barely use it.

8/10 Very good

All good
Joe, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Safe location but smells like smoke and weed

The staff were kind, the carpet needs to be changed, the couches had stained, elevator needs to be fixed, the room smelled like smoke and every morning the hallways around 8am to 9am smelled like pot.
Mukeni, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice staff but people smoking weed in hallway

Its cheap and in a safe neighborhood. Unfortunately the hotel needs a new carpet, rooms renovated, HVAC needs to be fixed, elevator needs to be fixed and people not smoking near the rooms. I could smell weed inside my room all night.
