Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We liked the convenient location, comfortable beds, good water pressure and plenty of hot water in the shower. The air conditioning worked great, and there was also a decent variety of free breakfast options. We didn’t get a chance to use the pool, but it looked like it was clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would stay here again if in the area in the future.

For the price, it was good! A little more attention needs to be given. There was something splashed on the walls (looked like coffee or soda) in a couple areas that should have been wiped down. We had to ask for a shower curtain and towels. I think just slowing down when cleaning would eliminate the few issues. Bedding was clean. Breakfast was good. Staff was helpful. Overall, was just fine.

Just average. Not run down but doesn’t have that new and crisp clean feeling either. The one thing that bothered me the most is when the AC unit turned on it produced a smell in the room.
