Very clean and quiet place. The only downfall, which isn’t huge, there was no vending machines for snacks or drinks if needed. Again, that’s not a deal breaker. I would definitely stay there again.

This was my first time staying here and my family enjoyed it. It was quiet,inviting and clean. I am self employed as a housecleaner and to see that even the inside of the in room microwave, the top of the headboards and bedding were clean makes me want to stay here again when I come to see my daughter. The only things I will mention that I would suggest are- If the vending machines could be stocked with varieties of snacks,even gluten free ones. Possibly floor 2 having vending machines also. Also if there were a couple different options for the continental breakfast that include gluten free choices. Granola bars, oatmeal packets,muffins. Items to fill in the gap of missing carbs. I will stay here again and have already told others that I enjoyed my stay while I was visting in town. See you again soon Sleep Inn!

Floor in bathroom needed to be re-grouted....many spaces between tile where grout should have been. Nice stay.

Did not like how the staff was rarely available for questions at the desk. Housekeeping unclogged my toilet without wearing gloves and then proceded to replace the filthy bed blanket without washing their hands first. They also replaced bathroom towels without cleaning their hands after dealing with the toilet. They also left toilet water on the bathroom floor was not at all impressee. Floor issues with soft spots that gave away when walking and broken floor tiles. Carpet looked filthy and housekeeping team sprayed febreeze on everything and i dont know if it had dissinfectant in it or not. Another guest reported bed bugs and was bitten up on his arm.

We were traveling through to get home 8 hours away. The property is functional but it has seen better days. Carpet is old and worn, bedding is average quality, furniture is a bit worn. In the morning, there are standard hotel waffles and assorted foods. My biggest negative would be the morning coffee, it was awful. Sleep Inn & Suites is probably a "no-go" for me.

Went to this location because we had a family funeral in the area, and stayed three nights. I arrived in the afternoon and was greeted by the friendly desk staff. They got me checked in quickly. The lobby area was neat and clean. The dining room and breakfast area was clean and the breakfast, and coffee was great! The room was clean and updated. The one thing that would make the stay a bit more comfortable is to replace the towels. They were clean but worn out and thin. The in room air conditioner worked great as well as the refrigerator. The pool was a nice added touch. I will stay again when I visit in the future.

I loved the room and it was absolutely beautiful when you first walk in the doors. I was not to impressed with the breakfast. Don't get me wrong they had a large variety of things to chose from but the eggs were very runny and the sausage kind of sponge. Other then that I'd DEFINETELY recommend this place

Even though Hotels.com never sent our reservation to the hotel the manager worked through the issue and got us into a room. Traveled with our dog. The room was very comfortable and roomy and didn't have the heavy deodorant smell that many pet friendly rooms often have. The breakfast was also very good.
