Good value overall. Better breakfast options than other hotels I’ve stayed at in the area. Comfortable bed and pillows. Nothing fancy but perfectly acceptable for my 1-night stay. I’ve stayed at this BW a few times over the years and will likely return In the future.

Great experience!
Very nice, modern accommodations with a very professional young woman at the check in desk. Room was immaculate and nicely furnished. Breakfast was better than average, but the dining area was exceptional for a motel in this price range.

This site is acceptable, however, the wireless internet crucial for my stay was virtually non-working. If this is a business friendly site, internet access for business is crucial. Elevator was not working when we arrived & was minimally functional to our 4th floor room by the time we left.

Loud room that needed updates. Bad service.
The bed was comfortable and the room itself was clean enough but the ceiling tiles were falling down and it was loud! The mini refrigerator was making such a loud noise, I actually unplugged it from the bundle of frayed wires wedged behind the TV and just said goodbye to my leftovers in the fridge. The heat/air sounded like a rattling freight train and there was a loud clicking noise that came from the vent (sounded like a loud turn signal that you would hear from your car or something?) Anyways, it kept me up and it was too late to try and get a different room, so I just ended up sleeping like crap all night. I took a video of the weird noise coming from the vents and how loud the room was and showed it to the front desk girl in the morning, who responded with a smirk and said "well I sleep with the TV on". Okay, well good for her but I was supposed to work my six 12hr shift that week and I was exhausted because I was unable to get a good night sleep. I've stayed in a lot of hotels as a travel nurse and understand that things break but it was the response of the front desk girl who really made me upset. Like what ever happened to customer service? No cares were given and I will not be staying at this hotel in the future.
