I really enjoyed my stay for the value and the staff member who booked my reservations and checked me was outstanding. He had a great personality and made me feel welcomed to the city and the hotel. The room was clean and the continental breakfast was great with a waffle station! « less

Stayed here two nights to attend a funeral. Hotel is shabby but clean. Toilet was leaking on day one, reported it, and on day two it was still leaking and didn't flush. Not fun. The staff is great, friendly and helpful. The breakfast bar was nice with the staff person making waffles for everyone. For $89/night it was a deal. « less

We stayed here to attend a baptism. The pool was a great distraction for our daughter and the restaurant on site was convenient. The room was very basic. It was nice to have the refrigerator and microwave but both were older and not super clean. The beds were incredibly hard and the shower had no pressure whatsoever. Walls were paper thin and we could hear other guests from all angles. the continental breakfast is a nice feature but it is only available until 9am. I MIGHT stay again in a pinch or for a one night stay but not for any length of time. « less

Dear Guest; We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for sharing your review with us. All feedback we receive is welcome as it helps us improve on our service. We recently renovated our pool area, glad your daughter enjoyed it. We are in the process of renovating our guest rooms and while we cannot change everything we are making great progress where we can. We understand the breakfast times are convenient for some but not everyone, unfortunately the times are not due to change but Christopher's Pub on site opens at 11:30am for early lunch for guests that may miss the complimentary breakfast and have a little extra time before getting on the road to their destination. Thank you again for your review and for staying with us. If the opportunity arises and you return to the area, we welcome the opportunity to have you stay with us.

The staff was awesome! That's the great thing. When we checked in, my husband and 2 kids (5 and 2) it was a long day...we got into our room...2nd floor and no elevator not such a big deal..then we got nto our room, which smelled like it was a smoking room, the carpet was dark brown and needed to be re-streched or somethiNg as there was all ripples in the rug. It was an old style tv, not such a big deal except for the harness for the expected new tv was on the wall and the wire was hanging down. There apparently was at some point a hole In the wall that was covered with a crazy unmatching patch. But we were only staying one night and it was kind oflate so we sucked it up. When I turned on the shower in the morning all of this rust covered stuff came out from under the bath mat..had to put on flip flops to take a shower...burn mark on the tub....carpet In the hallway was dirty and dingy... Other plus other than the desk staff was the pool..apparently brand new ... Kids loved the pool..breakfast was a joke...a room had cereal and coffee from what I could see but it was so hpjammed couldn't even get in there I think theres maybe 10 seats...walked over to I-hop across the street which is what I guess half of the hotel guests too... Check around before you go here... For 170 for the night would never come back.. « less

Dear Guest; Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for being our guest. The pool was newly remodeled and we are so pleased to know the kids had a great time there and that our staff treated you well. We would like to offer our sincere apologies for the poor condition of your guest room and were informed that the hotel is still in the process of renovating and upgrading our rooms and it is taking longer than anticipated due to the hotel being very busy right now. We understand that due to the conditions of the guest room, you chose not to stay with us again, but if you do reconsider visiting us again in the near furture once our renovations have been completed we will be able to show that this unfortunate one time poor experience will not happen again. Thank you.
