Facility is most excellent. A little confusion, at first, thought I was paying $100 for pet to stay. Turned-out was only security deposit. We have decided, we are coming back, no doubt.

This place has Silver Fish and they will not do anything about it nor will they compensate you for their bugs. This is a bug that will travel home with you unless you take great measures! Bathroom tub was dirty and there was hair in the floor still to the 9th day we left. Breakfast was always cold at 9:00 when it didn’t end until 9:30. Front desk was always sour puss face and not very helpful. Always making an excuse. I will NEVER stay there again!

Everything was wonderful during our stay with one exception. We stayed in room 306 and every so often we’d hear this strange knocking noise next to the bathroom and electric box. It occurred at all times and night with the last night being from 4:30 am until 6 am. We spoke to staff who said they were aware of the problem and there was a loose pipe in the wall. The only way to fix it would be to open the wall. It sounds as if no one wants to fix it. Other than the problem with the wall everyone was so friendly, accommodating and helpful. The room was very nice as well. Great set up.

Almost perfect! Loved the cool room after a hot day. A/C worked great and did not get too cold or hot in night. Breakfast was just ok. Basic. Bed was comfortable. My only complaint was bathroom was dim. All the lights functioned but as my husband said too many hotels choose mood and style over function. Especially hard for those of us with slight vision issues. Opened all blinds, turned on all lights and just too dim. Also would have been nice to have a full length mirror to make sure appearance is in order. Otherwise excellent and

The staff - desk, housekeeping, breakfast, etc - were very friendly and helpful. The kitchenette was nice but I had to wipe down the refrigerator interior as there were skins from onions (maybe garlic) in the door shelves. The bathroom floor appeared to be clean but had a sticky film on it. The buffet breakfast the day I had it was mediocre. The turkey sausage was cold and the scrambled eggs were a bit runny. I was glad I had the kitchenette to make breakfast the other days. The choices for coffee were decaf, bold and bold. I prefer a medium blend (or light depending on the brand) so the bold was too strong - and bitter - for my taste. My mini travel Keurig came in handy. Overall, it was a good place to stay for a few days while I visited family and the price was a good value.

The breakfast buffet was out of all the standard items when we came down at 8:30 and wasn’t restocked for 30 minutes - we didn’t have the luxury to wait. It didn’t appear anyone was attending the breakfast area as the table and food ares were dirty from previous guests - who presumably got to eat eggs and bacon, etc. The ledge in the shower was broken and almost falling off the wall. We did like the layout of room 408 and it was clean.
