No respect given
Staff was terrible and unavailable. Desk was unattended and the number given to call was also unanswered. Was locked out of my room for several hours. Please stay somewhere else.

not the worst but not the best
it was not a bad stay. but when i took a shower there was barely any water pressure then I go to get a towel unfold it and it was dirty. not stains but actually been used and refolded and put back. it was gross. I did complain to the front desk person and she said they must have forgotten to take it out of the room.. ummm no if you literally folded it it wasn't forgotten. Otherwise the room was good. the bed was comfortable. the morning food was cold not up to temp.

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.
