Todd, Sep 2023

This hotel’s main floor is under renovation. The breakfast offering was not what was promised on the website. The staff was standoffish when asked. The breakfast area was on over heated small room with makeshift seating. On the flip side, the rooms have all been renovated and were comfortable. It was a good sleep. I’d wait out half of October before booking a room here.

Anonymous, Mar 2018

Pros. Nice room, comfortable beds. Very convenient location right off the highway.

Cons. My son was really looking forward to gravy with biscuits for breakfast and only one day out of 5 did they provide gravy.

10Wonderful
Anonymous, Jan 2018

Pros. This hotel is absolutely wonderful! The location is great for my personal needs, close to the mall, wall mart, starbucks/dunkin donuts and a few grocery stores too. The beds had new Simmons mattresses that made for a great nights sleep, then the breakfast was a great way to start the day. The breakfast was great and had a variety of foods from cinnamon rolls to bagels and cereal too! They have fresh coffee available all day for those afternoon pick me ups. The staff were absolutely wonderful. Everytime I entered the building I was greeted and everytime I exited the elevator into the lobby I was always met with a warm smile and a friendly hello.

Cons. The shower and sink in the room I stayed in took an exceptionally long time to drain which often meant rings in the shower and sink. I cannot put blame on the hotel though because I always forgot to tell the front desk and you can’t fix a problem if you don’t know about it!

4Mediocre
Henry, Dec 2017

Pros. Nice bed and shower

Cons. Could be nicer, and cleaner. Breakfast was poor.
