Most staff were helpful and courteous. One front desk associate did not smile and barely spoke. The exercise room had missing weights and a non-working Peloton. The room had peeling-off wallpaper, missing bathroom tiles and an apparently leaking sink drainpipe, and food crumbs on the desk and floor.

Nice place for a short stay

The curtains in the dining room were splattered with food. As someone who doesn't eat dairy it was frustrating not to have non dairy options for coffee and cereal. The service was fantastic, check in and out was a breeze and the bed was comfortable.

Front desk staff were not welcoming or friendly. Acted very bored. Inside building needs new carpet & paint. It always smells dusty from age. It’s clean looking & property is well maintained. Lots of parking. I stay at this location often because I have family in the area & it’s convenient.
