Sadly my family of 4 didn’t even stay two hours due to upstairs stomping around for hours causing my 1 year old to not be able to sleep. The room overall was a 4/10 . There was clear mold painted over in the bathroom. The sheets had someone’s hair on them. Lost 120$ and had to drive 3 hours home in the middle of the night.

The front desk staff put us in a room right next to the street with traffic noise although we asked for a quiet room. Room is small. Sink faucet has slow running water. Breakfast has only cold foods. There are hot coffee from a coffee maker machine. They have rotten apples in a basket for breakfast until we asked for fresh apples. Front desk staff service is not attentive to customers’ requests. We would not stay in this hotel again.

Free parking, clean room, safe area, 2nd bedroom had no a/c, beds were stiff, could hear all neighbors through the walls. breakfast was as bare bones as could be for continental- Eggo waffles, white toast, yogurt, and cereal were the only foods. The coffee was not good. It was decently priced and in close proximity to everything we wanted to do. Housekeeping did excellent job cleaning.
