I was treated rudely. I needed WiFi for my studies, but they seem completely unconcerned about making sure it works. The staff treated me as if I were being unreasonable for expecting them to do something other than just stare at me blankly. Clearly, they knew the WiFi was down and have learned to dismiss customer needs, acting as if I’m the only one who has ever had an issue with it. When I mentioned my complaint, the staff member claimed no one had ever complained before. I told her I was complaining now, but all I received in response was that familiar blank stare. At this point, all I can do is leave a bad review, which I doubt will make any difference.

Not so great

The Wi-Fi did not work. The room smelled like a smoker's room. The room needs an overall update in cleaning, painting, caulking, etc. I slept well.

Great spot for a nights stay!

The rooms here are really super nice actually! They come with plenty of space and nice furniture. The bed is super comfy. The hot breakfast in the morning is really good and provides lots of options. We love staying here when we need a room for the night. The price is good and the quality of the room is well worth it. My only complaint would be the shower. It was a struggle to find the hot water with the handle and I never did find find it. I found warm enough water that I was able to complete the task of showering but it wasn’t very enjoyable. Then my water struggled to completely drain. Not deal breaker things but ya know, room for improvement. Staff is friendly enough and hotel itself is clean and well maintained. Solid place to stay!
