Generally ok. Breakfast options were pretty poor, housekeeping missed our room one time and everything is a bit dated. It’s a cheap stay at a cheap location.

Hotel stay
Great staff, very friendly. Nice room, very beautiful. Breakfast buffet was easy. Just basic, eggs, bacon, sausage, cereal, toast, juice, muffins, coffee. Very clean, but neighborhood bordered the bad side of town.

This place is run down and everything is very cheap. Cheap sheets, nasty processed foods for the breakfast. The tub was of questionable cleanliness. Avoid

Clean room. Friendly staff. Smelly elevator was a pretty big turn off. Otherwise good experience, look forward to the future when the renovations are finished. There was no noise from the renovation that I noticed

5 star service for 3 star price
I was traveling with 3 teenagers, who absolutely loved the room and hotel, especially the breakfast. I will consistently stay there when traveling in the area on the sole fact they made 3 teenaged girls happy and feel like princesses.

Good stay, scary check-in
Room was clean and workable. Checking in was a nightmare. First room given was already occupied and I walked in on a couple. Second room was not what I’d reserved. About 45 minutes into arriving at the hotel, I got my room. Scary how they don’t know what rooms are occupied or king/double queen. Certainly worried about security of the joint when they give me keys to an occupied room.
