"Room was clean, but little too hot, had to open window to cool the room. Bed was also little too hard for me, but was great for my husband. Breakfast was good, it had eggs, meat, potatoes, and also waffle maker for fresh waffles. It would have been great if they had decaf coffe, as only regular coffee was brewed for breakfast."
"Parking was good. First impression was not good. Cigarette butts everywhere when walking to door. Inside is rundown. Not what I was expecting from pictures. Room was ok clean. Cover on bed was stained and had rips in it. Took a while for water to get hot. Overall stay was ok."
"I have stayed here 3 times over several years, and this will be last time i stay here. It has gone downhill so much. The homeless hang out on the front lobby and all around the building. Only door that works is the front door. Elevator is barely working and was even shut down at one point. Breakfast EVERY morning for a week was eggs and sausage links. Toaster barely toasts bread or begal. Room has wall mount heater/ac, but no labels, have to just guess and what to see what comes out. Once its running, it sounda like a plane in your room because its so loud. This place is so terrible i actually considered getting another hotel and just dealing with the price of 2 places. Price is affordable, yes. But so many better places around town to feel safe and comfortable. "
"Everything was fresh and full. The attendant was present and kept everything clean and restocked. There was something for everyone and plenty to go around."
