We stayed for 2 nights. We stayed on the second floor. You can hear car noise, but not too bad. Midnight we were woken up to water dripping from the ceiling to our restroom tub, the room upstairs left their tub running. Didn't move us to a new room until the next morning. We moved to the 5th floor. You can hear everyone's sliding door and an annoying beeping noise all night long! Place was clean and the cookies were good.

Staff was nice at check in they were friendly and knowledgeable . The cookies were good and pool area was nice. Once we got to our room we smelled a mildew Oder that was unbearable. First thing we tried doing was airing it out but none of the windows were accessible to open up so we could air it out. We also went into the pool and went to ask for towels there was a long line of people checking in when we asked for some towels to the manager looking over the receptionists she provided no assistance. We’ll also stayed with some friends and they also had a problem with stench in the room.

Please save your money and do not stay here. The staff is nice, but the property conditions are terrible. Broken ironing board and hair dryer. Some electric outlets don’t work. The whole room (aside the lobby) looks run down. Motel 6 down the street would’ve been better, cheaper and free parking versus paying $33 a night. I booked through Expedia and now I understand why they charge you a full night regardless. Wouldn’t be surprised if more people cancel once they check into their rooms and ask to leave because of the poor conditions.

The parking lot elevator seemed poorly maintained. We used the elevator when we arrived and there was some very questionable noises when it was operating to the point we did not want to go inside it again. We noticed that it was not operating the day of our departure so hopefully someone is going to call to get it serviced.
