1. Parking was easy and secure. 2. The check in staff on Friday 10/10/25 was couteous and helpful. 3. The breakfast was well cooked on both days and offered many options 4. The room was clean. 5. However, the room had a musty smell probably related to the humidity from the bathroom, which did not have an exhaust vent.

Our room was very humid. The closet reeked of mold so we could not use it. Something isn’t working correctly to lead to these conditions. The day staff were great. The night staff are rude.

Pleasant Surprise

I actually went in very low expectations bc of the hotel name and I’d never stayed at a “budget” hotel. I was pleasantly surprised with how clean it was and how friendly ALL the staff was. Robert at the front desk was awesome. I would stay there again bc of the staff and cleanliness.

Bathroom could be cleaned better. The breakfast Buffett was pretty good, but the Apple juice was watered down and the OJ had tastes of grapefruit, so probably needs to be cleaned. Check in staff was excellent, and besides the bathroom the rest of the room was great.
