"It was a quick 2 night stay. Breakfast could have been better. We were unable to stay on the 2nd floor due to an injury. I think the room we stayed in hadn’t been stayed in or touched up in a while. With it being a last minute change from our 2nd floor room it probably wasn’t expected to be used. We found a few dead bugs. Staff was helpful and kind."

"The only issue i can think of that wasn't good was parking. The problem was that big passenger busses were parked sideways taking up 7 spots each. I didnt mention the difficulty to the desk because I heard other guests complaining to staff & I'm able bodied & had no prob dragging my luggage from my eventually found ( probably 'illegal ') parking spot to a side door of the hotel from a neighboring business that seemed to be a Mon- Fri business & I was there on the weekend so i figured i could get away with it. The desk staff was attentive & helpful. The breakfast was really good. The staff was good at cleaning, hallways were vacuumed & trash left by guests was gone the next time I walked by that spot. The pool was clean & the hot tub worked well, was hot & clean, towels were plentiful. Ice machines worked well. My room was a basic hotel room but I have no complaints, update efforts seen, sheets & towels smelled bleachy (aka clean ) while the bathroom showed the building's age ( countertop, door & tub color) everything worked & was clean, tv & fridge worked as they should. Theres a pizza place attached to the hotel & there's a guest discount if you eat there There's a lot of restaurants in the area all within walking distance but this hotel is on a very busy road so to walk to dinner may require "Frogger skills" which you might chance if you actually got a parking spot in the hotel lot. Not a luxury hotel, but a clean place with updating efforts - I'd stay again."
