The front desk staff was great! The lady that checked me in (I missed her name) was the same as my previous stay however I stayed in a different part of the hotel and all rooms are NOT equal. My room had a concrete pole by the window and stayed cold—even with my heat cranked as high as it would allow (82 degrees F). My room was a bit dirty; my linen and bed were clean looking/smelling. The shower had some kind of pink frothy stuff dried to the top handle and there were crumbs on nearly all the flat surfaces. My hot water was lukewarm at best, no matter if I jumped right in or waited a few minutes. Parking was chaotic and cars were parked haphazardly so I had to park a lot further away than I wanted and would move my vehicle later in the day. Positive side, no one slammed their door constantly, even the rooms with kids so I slept well! I would stay here again because I’m hoping this was just a one off thing…

Opening and closing of neighboring rooms throughout the night disrupted sleep and sounded as if the place was coming apart. Doors should gently close to help prevent this, not slam and rattle the walls

Employees are great. Hotel was great. Location was great. For some reason, I did not have hot water for my shower. That’s the only reason I did not grade everything five stars.
