The staff were amazing and so helpful. Unfortunately the hotel is aging and it shows. Our 2 bedroom had no hot water in one bathroom and the other bathroom tub and toilet were clogged.

OK, needs to be deep cleaned and remodeled

I remember how nice this hotel used to be when it was operating as a Residence Inn. It’s not as nice anymore. The outside is nice but inside of the rooms need to be remodeled. The furniture is old. The carpets could use shampooing and the walls could use washing. The bathroom, however, was clean, which I appreciated.

The reception was excellent and provided great customer service; however, the room I received had a used towel and a bit of trash under the bed. Reception changed my room. No problem. The second room had the same issue. A used butter knife under the bed and dried food underneath the couch. This made me inclined to believe that housekeeping isn’t cleaning these rooms properly and that’s worrisome. Solid 3 stars.

The bathroom was not clean and there was hair on the floor, the carpet wasn’t vacuumed as evident if skittles and dried raw meat and small rocks on the floor. The curtains didn’t close the whole way and there was a gap where the night light came on for the 5 nights we were there

Double charged my deposit and couldn’t release their mistake. Sounded like a heard of elephants above us. Couch was really uncomfortable to sit on. Beds were very comfortable so that was a plus.
