Sisters Get Away Weekend

Overall, everything was wonderful. The room could use a little more light (only 1 lamp and no ceiling light) but other than that it was really nice. Very clean, etc. Would definitely stay here again. The food at the restaurant was not as good as expected and very slow. We realized that it was a show night so we got there extra early. Once we were served, the waitress never came back. We had to track her down for a drink refill and then again for the bill. We realized that it had gotten crowded, however we should not have been forgotten.

Room was smaller but nice. Bathroom was updated and had nice amenities and spacious in comparison to room size. The room was super clean and so was the bathroom. Parking is limited on site and I had to park in the public free parking garage about a half block away. Several stairs, especially from parking lot to side door to elevator. Staff was very nice and helpful but she didn't know if the room had a USB-C charging port or just a USB normal. In fact, she told me there was not a USB-C port in the charger under the lamp. Luckily I went upstairs to double check before trekking to the Walmart and the charging station does have a USB-C port plus 2 regular USBs. Saved me a trip to Walmart a few miles away about 10pm. I just thought at this high quality of property that the front desk staff would be aware of the amenities offered in the rooms. There is a restaurant onsite with a bar. If you are in the area for work or travel I think this is the nicest place within several interstate exits, but it is a little pricey.

We live the quietness of the hotel . The beds were comfortable but could use additional lighting brighter lights, higher toilet and coffee maker. A stand inside bathroom like a shelf for personal items.. the tub was slippery almost fell.. just a few suggestions as we travel a lot but we would definitely stay here again!!

Lot of potential, needs some modernization.

GFM Hotel has a lot of potential considering its age. The front desk staff is very good. Our K-bedded room was furnished with antiquey pieces, some of which were much too big for the room, making it seem crowded. HVAC control was not typical, with no in-room instructions, so we had to ask front desk how it works. Bathroom was very clean, step-over tub/shower, linens were good. Breakfast was adequate, more like a typical mid-range chain hotel, not a "boutique" hotel. The restaurant which may be under independent management, is haphazard, trying too hard to be different.
