Could use some updating as far as bathrooms are concerned. Also be aware that there isn’t a coffee maker in the rooms. Other than that bed was comfortable and room was clean. Also walking distance to many restaurants.

The room appeared clean at first but the floors were filthy, in just a few minutes to bottoms of our feet were literally black. The bed was okay. Breakfast isn't served until 7 a.m. so we were not able to try that out because we left out early each morning, our choice on that though. My biggest issue was how dirty the floors were.

Quite hotel, clean except for a used bar of soap left in the shower which makes you question how clean the shower actually is. The tub did not drain. Asked to have it fixed and after chemicals poured into the drain it did not resolve the issue. It is extremely hard to understand any of the staff.

LOVELY STAY

Lovely, clean, quiet. good breakfast. Comfortable beds. Only drawback was the exercise room. Very hot with no air conditioning or fan, no towels and the elliptical was broken on one side. Tread mill was fine. Don't let this deter you. It was a lovely stay. Quality breakfast!!

The evening desk clerk at check in was rude but all the other staff was very friendly. Said they had a pool but did not. Turned it into a fenced play area on artificial turf with some games for kids. This also doubled as a dog park where they would use it as a bathroom, so the kids played in the same area with urine and feces. Room was fair but the floors were dirty. Air conditioner leaked water onto the floor inside of the room. Daily room service only consisted of taking out the trash and it was an inconvenience to get towels replaced. A friend who stayed there one night while we were there warned us to check our credit card payment because they attempted to charge him for two (2) nights. Will not stay here again!

Upon arrival there was no one at front desk. Waited ten minutes for a rude man to show up and he was mad at the world. Not friendly at all. I have a service dog and at breakfast was asked by the person at the front desk to sit away from the food area because of my service dog. The young man bringing out the food followed me around making sure I closed the food and laid down the utensils in the right spot. Never been treated so rudely.
