DO NOT BOOK HERE! There were holes in the shower, stains on all of the bedding, I was told housekeeping was off for the weekend, the furniture and bedding had holes, and an adjoining room was complaining about bugs. I spoke with the manager and let him know I was uncomfortable staying there and requested a refund and he screamed at me. He called me greedy and refused to refund my stay. I was traveling for a funeral and exhausted upon arrival. I paid and still chose to leave the room and stay elsewhere due to being uncomfortable and fear of retaliation from the manager.

Didn't like that they advertise that they have free breakfast, but all they offer is a granola bar. This is a snack not breakfast. Also, Ice machine has been broken for quite a while now. it was broken the last time I stayed which was 2 or 3 stays ago.
