Excellent. This is in a convenient location near the WW I memorial, aquarium and shopping. It has hotel only access parking even some covered parking. All doors are securely locked and require a room key so you do feel safe while staying here. We drove by some of the other hotels in the area and this was by far the most desirable.

Everything was ok except the dryer wasn’t working. I put my money in and nothing. The women at the front desk couldn’t refund my money without talking to her boss. She did offer to dry my clothes in the hotel dryer, which I really appreciated.

Located right next to a huge movie theater, we stayed on a Saturday night and there was a lot of noise from the parking lot. Nice pool area and kitchenette in room with full size fridge. They had coffee with cream and sugar in the morning, which I was grateful for. You can get breakfast for extra charge if you order the night before, and they have a bunch of drinks, snacks and items for sale ala carte at the front desk. Beds were comfortable and a/c was working. Decent bathroom and good water pressure.

Cleanliness

Reviews frequently praise overall cleanliness and well-kept rooms. A number of guests reported odors, stained or worn linens, missed spots, and that routine housekeeping during multi-night stays isn’t automatic.

Picked hotel because the room accommodated 5 people according to their advertisement. I should not have assumed but did assume there would be a pull out or something for our 5th adult. There were two queen beds only. When I called down and asked how 5 adults were to sleep in this room the manager replied “that’s up to you.” The manager did bring us a cot after we requested it and we were charged $15. No biggie. The manager was insistent we were checking in to a NONSMOKING room and the whole third floor where we stayed completely wreaked of marijuana usage - bad - and our room had a terrible musty, dirty smell. There were hairs on the sheets so we slept atop the bedspread with a blanket. Housekeeping was quite poor. The best thing about our stay was the water pressure in the shower. Would not stay here again. Highly discouraged!

The room was great—comfortable and clean. I appreciated an economical rate without frills. The road that this hotel is on is noisy, and the walls are thin. It’s not the hotel’s fault that there’s loud traffic all night. I couldn’t get to sleep until I got up and found my ear plugs. Slept fine after that.

Clean, really comfortable beds, has great kitchen area ( I hate the price of eating out), dog fee and room price very reasonable, parking easy, nice size king room with table and 2 chairs and recliner. Everything I want in a hotel room. Even really helpful, friendly staff. Great job!

I wanted a room with a kitchenette. This room had a kitchenette but only one eye of the two eye stove top was working. In the bathroom, the wall anchored body wash container was empty. The "breakfast in bed" I ordered ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTIONS never arrived (I was not charged). The parking lot and entrance were very difficult to find and navigate. The bed was old and squeaky. The linens were fine. I slept well enough.

Quite. Right off the interstate. Right out side a huge theater and 7 mins from Zoo. If you don't want the city vibe this is a good spot. No breakfast. Kitchen in room.. bring food and drinks or stop at a grocery store before. It's not feeling obligated to get the free breakfast and just going at your own pace for the whole family.

There was plenty of free parking and it seemed like a nice area. We were given a handicap room because the room that we booked was not ready. There was a full-size fridge, kitchen sink, and small stove top. There weren't any dishes or utensils, though. We didn't need these, but I suppose if you booked a suite with a kitchen that you would expect them to be there. There's no breakfast available. It was a good place to stay if you just need a bed for the night.
