I highly DO NOT recommend this hotel
Ordered room for 3 people gave me one queen bed and the bed was the worst I've ever slept in. Only got 2 hours sleep after driving from New Jersey. Only gave us two towels for 3 people. Air conditioner was loud. Breakfast was horrible. Waffle maker wasn't working properly, waffles stuck to it so not able to even eat them and not much choices for breakfast. Would not recommend this hotel, especially for $124 for a weekday.

Nancy

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
My room looked like it needed a deep clean. There was mildew on the ceiling above the shower and the tub was cracked. I had to be careful not to step on the crack because it had sharp edges. The sink constantly dripped and the sink area was not very clean. The air conditioner didn’t keep the room very cool even when I set it on 62. The TV channels came in fuzzy and I asked two people at the front desk for someone to look at it. Apparently they did not. I will not be staying there again!

Kylie greeted us with a warm "Hello" and checked us in. We moved our luggage upstairs and upon returning downstairs she told me us fresh baked peanut cookies would be finished baking soon. Our room was clean as was the bathroom and my wife and I a restful sleep. Would stay here again just because of the hotel's personnel.

The bathroom was missing a hairdryer (which was most likely stolen by a previous occupant) but the staff found one for me. The floor behind the bathroom door was nasty (dirt and hair). The ice bucket that was in the room had water and debris left in it and was not emptied and cleaned out. This property could be really nice but the cleaning staff needs to be trained properly so they will not miss these small details. The fresh baked cookies were awesome!
