Desk staff member was exceptional! In three days there I only saw one, but she was really on her toes. Great parking options, great location, secure feeling. Breakfast had plenty of options, and if something was out or low, simply telling her got replacements right out. I really only had two issues. The in-room fridge did not have a freezer, and the water seemed hard, making rinses in the shower take longer. Otherwise, not too shabby!

This hotel was very nice. I care most about how clean places are when I stay. This hotel was very clean. The room was nice and beds were comfortable. I can’t speak to how the breakfast was because we didn’t eat there but the breakfast area was nice. Things to note: there is no elevator and no pool. I was aware of the pool but not the elevator which wasn’t a big deal for me but could be for others. The gentleman at the desk did offer to help carry our stuff up to our room which I thought was very nice. I would stay there again if ever back in the area.

The hotel and staff were wonderful. The rooms were clean, the breakfast was plentiful and our overall experience was great. Of note, there is no elevator so if you are on the second floor, you’ll have to carry your bags upstairs. All in all it was a wonderful stay and we will not hesitate to go back.

This would've received all excellent ratings except for the fact that our room did not appear to have been vacuumed. There were crumbs and miscellaneous bits of paper or crumbs in various places in the room and bathroom. I told the front desk clerk about it about an hour after we checked in. She said she would "tell her manager about it". We left for the evening expecting they would have someone vacuum while we were gone but it was the same condition when we returned at 10 pm. Makes me wonder what else was not cleaned in the room! The walls are also very thin and we could clearly hear the TV in the room next to us late at night and early in the morning. We did not eat breakfast there in the morning, so I can't comment on that.

We have stayed here a few times since it opened. It is sad to see how quickly the carpet in the halls and stairway has deteriorated. It needs a deep cleaning or replacement. Other areas were ok.

Housekeeping used their key and pushed open the door while we were still in bed with the 'do not disturb' sign in thr outside of the door. They would have entered the room except we had the flip thing across the door. Then they didn't even think to completely shut the door...it was still cracked and they just left. Bugs in bathroom, egg cook had a scorpion thing across his face and it actually startled me and made me pull back instinctively when I saw him. Decent enough guy, but geez I didn't want to see a full face tattoo over breakfast. We both got I'll a half hour after eating breakfast,so we didn't eat there the next morning. Wasntmuch out for.food. Key cards didn't work 2nd day,so had to get new ones. Desk clerk asked Us for the price of the snack from the canteenso she could ring it up. Bed hard. Poorly lit room. Not worth it, going back to Holiday Inn nextdoor for 50 bucks a night more.

My issue was checking in. I got to my room, opened the door and the bed was unmade and there were items on the bed. I didn’t go in. I went to the front desk and they put me in another room. I couldn’t get to sleep because there was a motor running outside of my room until at least midnight. I finally put my noise cancellation AirPods in my ears so I could get to sleep. I took them out about midnight and the noise had stopped. Otherwise it is a nice hotel. I appreciate the cleanliness first and foremost.

Booked a King Room online while traveling for work. Checked in at 9pm on a Wednesday with a young kid all tatted up with piercings. Got to room which was a handicapped room with 2 queen beds & could hear both neighbors through the walls yelling in spanish. Went back to front counter & explained the situation. Was told, "that's my managers fault" & called her. When I expressed concern about the noise, I was told "What do you expect? This place is filled with Mexicans" After getting his Manager on the phone, I was told they were overbooked & had to stick me in a handicapped 2 queen room & couldn't move me. Tried to comp my room, but was booked using my company credit card. Turned the TV up loud & tried to sleep. Then at 4am, more loud people pounding across the ceiling, playing music, & talking super loud in Spanish. Never again.

I stayed two nights and both mornings what was called BREAKFAST was a JOKE !!!!!! If you wanted eggs you were suppose to ask at the front desk - no one was at the front desk ! Bacon was available as was waffle mix, one morning the refrigerator contained one item - the next morning it contained a half empty gallon of milk. The apples that were available were not fresh and most likely should have been given to a horse - if it was starving ! It was so bad and insulting that next time that I’m in Sheldon I will be staying at the Holiday Inn next store !
