We used the kitchen area a lot, to save on eating out all week. I wish there was room for an actual table so 2 people could eat together. I ate all week at a desk. Its a small thing, but i really missed having one. Otherwise the bed was good, and shower was fine.

This was a very comfortable clean place to stay, especially if you need to stay several days due to the small kitchen area and full size refrigerator. There are some good dining options within a few miles too.

The hotel has a modern look, but still feels cozy. Our room was large and comfortable. The fitness center & laundry were clean. I liked that you need to use your room key to access the building after 11 pm.

We stay at a unit where apparently they host guests with pets. The room was clean but some things did not work well like the faucet in the kitchen sink and the AC unit was extremely noisy. We stay 3 nights and even though we let them know they did nothing about it.

The hotel is “under renovation”, which has been going on for 3 years. The bed is blown out, a literal pit on one side, causing the person to be stuck in one position. Every employee we have encountered has been phenomenal. The housekeeping staff do a great job.

I often have a lot of trepidation about staying at hotels without knowing how comfortable their beds are. Most of the time I wake up with a lot of back pain and just don't feel comfortable. I slept in a full size bed and was very comfortable. The check-in people were friendly, and the room was clean. The hotel was extremely quiet. I have zero complaints.

Looked like the hotel was undergoing a remodel. Wasn’t stated when we booked. Room was old and outdated. Dangerous nails for my 2 year old exposed on the carpet tack strip. Baseboards tore up. Probably should have quarantined the rooms they were working on, instead of renting them out. Would have been the right thing to do. Overall high price for a substandard stay. Staff was friendly and nice.

Got a call from someone while at work asking to hold for a manager. No thank you. Manager called back stating there was a burst pipe and they have to move my reservation to a double bed. I ordered a king suite. Got to the property and they had to call a manager then proceeded to tell me they were upgrading me to a King suite and then proceeded to argue that this was an upgrade. It wasn't. It was exactly what I originally ordered so more time wasted. Get to the room and had to kill at least 6 beetles.

By far, the staff was outstanding! They went above and beyond to help me with some strange communication issues I was having when I lost my cell phone. The staff was communicative and accessible. Although I would have enjoyed a morning mini breakfast, coffee was always available and there was a well-stocked mini-mart. I would definitely stay there again! 5 stars from me!!

The only redeeming value was the bed and pillows. They were excellent. Otherwise the hotel fits in with Motel 6 and the like. The hotel was hard to get to, check in process was slow, the elevator made scary noises and the only thing free at the “uncontinental” breakfast was coffee. Won’t stay at this place again.
