"Awful"
Overall Score1.0/ 5
Weeds growing up to the windows gave us our first impression, which was accurate. Check in with a kiosk is ridiculous and didn't have one English speaking person available. Only clean room every three days so would have to try and find someone to get you a towel. Awful smell!!

"Everything was good. Room clean. Glad to be on the ground level."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
All good, except I felt sorry for the woman who was checking me in. She seemed to be doing everything and someone was yelling for her from another area as she was busy with me. She was the only employee I saw there and though I had a little bit of a hard time understanding her accent, she did a good job. she could have used some help.

"I am SO IMPRESSED with your service! I'm just getting started planning our conference for next year. What a gift to find a site through which I can screen multiple bids, without contacting multiple hotels individually. Plus I would never have thought to contact many that we are getting bids from! And all the booking can be done through your site? And you'll help with every possible need? What a God-send!" J.M. - Dallas, TX
