The unit had a small kitchenette which was nice. My issue with this hotel is that I was traveling with a friend and had reserved a suite with two separate bedrooms. When I went to check in, they said they had me in a studio with three beds. I told them that wasn't what I had reserved. They apologized and said that the AC unit had gone out in the room two days prior and they had hoped it would be fixed in time. Even though I had booked through Expedia, they had me confirm my phone number they had. So, they could have called to warn me. I requested two separate standard rooms, but they said they were booked. I'll be returning to the area again in November and am not sure if I'll stay here. Other than that, the stay was Ok and staff were pleasant.

Over priced, dirty, tried to reach out to management before reviewing no resolution - this is what $170+ a night gets you - old food in drawers, dirty stained furniture, non working appliances

When I arrive I ended up cleaning my whole room. From wiping off surfaces, vacuuming, and changing the sheets on the bed. Wiping down the futon that was fun of animal hair. I spent 1 night and moved to another hotel. When I called to talk to the manager Gail she never called me back. I called her twice. I would NOT recommend this hotel. The front desk staff Holly was great she did everything that she could have done but unfortunately I was not the only complaint that night but she handle things well. The managers do not care how this effects the paying customers as no manager was on site.

Nice people, not a great hotel

Front desk personnel were friendly but the hotel is old and it is showing it's age. Neither television received any channels and every time the AC turned on it sounded like someone dropped a tool box in the room. That meant that I did not get a very good night's sleep at all. There were also two temporary fans at either end of the hallway and a musty smell but no explanation was given. There are other hotels in the area, and I would recommend those instead.

Comfy but needs a refresh

This is still a good place to stay. Hotel could use a refresh. Been coming here for 20 years. Breakfast is so-so. There is no swimming pool. Beds are very comfortable. And, the service is excellent.
