Fine for a stop

Great for a stop. Our only concern was with the noise from the parking lot, construction workers leaving early and letting their trucks run for 30 minutes. Friendly staff.

The rooms are really rundown and the place is understaffed. There is no manager on duty and no one else available. The first room #4 I was the key pad on the door didn't work, after them giving me 3 different keys to try again, it only opened with the Master Key. The second room #5 they gave me the air conditioning stopped working in the middle of the night and there were no screens on the windows. It was hot, and loud and noisy without the air on. The next night I requested help with the air conditioning to see if they could show me how it works but they said they couldn't do anything about it because there was no one else but the front desk person. The night staff person was lovely but couldn't leave her post to help so she changed my room. I changed rooms ( which was a hassle) but the bathtub didn't drain. . The day staff person should not be in the hospitality business. She has an attitude and does not know how to effectively handle issues that arise. She was unkind and not helpful at all. I have asked for a refund.
