I like the sheer curtains in the room. Bright & colorful, very unusual for a chain hotel! I wish there had been access to drinking water in the lobby and at breakfast

The staff were very welcoming. We dropped our belongings in the room and headed out for dinner. There were a lot of options close by. When we got back we noticed a hot chocolate and tea area. A lovely touch. The room was very clean but the bed was atrocious! It sunk in the middle. We kept falling into each other during the night. It took me 5 minutes of warm up stretching to be able to stand upright the next morning. Also the refrigerator made a weird high pitched noise. I almost unplugged it.

The room was spacious and comfortable, except for two things: (1) the refrigerator.ade a horrible noise that I found not figure out for about 20 minutes, and (2) the room had an odor, most likely because of the cleaning products, but it was overwhelming at times. One small additional thing ... The AC worked for the most part, but the fan I wanted to have on all night (and kept having to change the setting to keep on) kept going off ... And the room warmed quickly. The staff was very nice, and were very accommodating.

The computer system seems to have issues converting 3rd party bookings to in-house room assignments. I was stuck in the lobby w/ 3-4 other people for over an hour. The hot water wasn't working. House keeping needs to check the shower curtain... there was a booger stuck on it.

Staff were friendly and efficient. Lots of clean, good quality linens. Lots of hot water and water pressure was high. There was black mold under the soap holder in the bathroom. The artwork in the room can only be described as dark and suicidal. It was very quiet. Breakfast was excellent. Kind of a up and down experience but overall good enough.

Very nice property It's not too expensive but the rooms are clean and spacious. The staff were all nice especially the lady that check is in is very friendly and pleasant... The breakfast was great, lots of choices to eat... And the check out is noon and that's a plus, other hotels/ motels it's either 10am or 11a.m.. They should learn from this hotel cause customers are happy when they don't need to rush in the morning. Thank you!
