"Worse for cost."
Overall score1.0/ 5
Refused to offer senior discount. Smelled like dirty cleaning water. In the morning a big spider ram out from behind the bed while we were having our coffee. In the night while peeing I thought the tub was chipped, most of been a big cause it wasn't there in the morning. For 160.00 it cost more than Comfort inns are they are 1000 times better.

"Room smelled bad."
Overall score2.0/ 5
I've stayed here many times without a complaint. This time room 122 stunk so bad our clothes in our suitcases smelled like the room. It smelled like sour mop water and moth balls. We were really tired and it was late so we stayed anyway! I'm retired military so if I complain about accommodations it's pretty bad!

"The hotel was clean and the staff was nice."
Overall score4.0/ 5
The only thought that I had was that the pool and work out room was closed due to "covid". I am not sure what that meant as most pools and workout rooms were open in other hotels. The staff was very nice and the location was great to all the major areas and attractions without being in the middle of everything.
