Clean and comfortable. Reasonable light breakfast. Staff friendly and attentive. Could use at least disposable cups in the room, had to go to lobby for a couple coffee cups to brush teeth and get a drink of water. Ice machine on third floor was missing but there was one in the lobby. Nice clean stay, thanks!
Had great breakfast choices. The staff was helpful and delightful.

Staff was okay. They did a fine job getting us checked in. Our room was kinda gross though. Stains on the top cover blanket, like obvious stains that weren’t easy to miss. One of the curtains in the room had gross stains on it and almost every towel in the room had dark dirty stains on them. Really disappointed, we were definitely deceived by the other reviews.
Front-office staff were too busy with too much work and therefore had a bad attitude.
Breakfast was very poor. The coffee was horrible. I poured it out. Did get a good nights sleep and it was quiet. Bed needs replaced soon.
Hotel was clean. They have breakfast bar but I didn't try it. I had a suite and it was roomy, clean, and comfortable. Will definitely return to this hotel.
It was clean and with a friendly staff. Breakfast was simple sausage gravy biscuits eggs and bacon. With bagels and breads. Nothing fancy but biscuits were fresh and warm and the sausage gravy had good flavor. Perfect for a one night stay. Will stay there again. Pet friendly as well. We had our 2 small dogs with us

The room we were given when we checked in was not fully made up. Then the TV did not work so they changed us to another room. The TV in that room also did not work. A staff person came and turned the system off and on and it worked. She said they have been having trouble with the TVs and if it happened again, try turning it off and on! OH, and the TV was pretty old. THankfully the bed was very comfortable and got a great sleep!
