Place was very old. Rooms were updated some but our door had an inch gap towards the bottom. It was fine for a quick one night sleep but we probably won’t go back.

This property says pet friendly but it is really only pets allowed. The only trash outside is by the front door. In order to throw away pet waste is to walk around to the front. Not convenient at all! Plus they charge $25 per pet per night! That is not friendly in the least! Don't plan on taking a shower in the morning as it takes forever for the water to turn warm. On a good note the room was mostly clean. Tub was gross & the floor needs a good scrubbing to get the stick in dirt up.

The hotel was fine. Nothing remarkable. Smells overwhelmingly like carpet deodorizer when you walk in. Front desk pwrson was EXTREMELY difficult to understand. Room shades worked really well and the noise level was great/low. Bathroom was incredibly small and the fan made a very loud screaching noise. This was a one night stay for us, so it was ok.

Check in was at 2pm, and we got there at 3pm with the room still not ready. The lady at the front said 20-30 minutes and it should be done.

I think I'll pass next time
It seems as if they are remodeling. Our room appeared to be freshly remodeled. Whomever designed the new rooms clearly has never traveled more than one night and definitely hasn't traveled with a female. There is no place to hang up clothes other than 3 hooks with hangers on them. There is only one mirror above the sink. The shelf below the sink is slats so that you can't set any of your toiletries down. There aren't enough outlets to plug in the microwave where it was located under the TV so I moved that to the shelf under the bedside table. There are no drawers to put clothes in other than one small basket type thing. There were no towel rods to hang any towels up. Aesthetically the room was nice, just not functional. Housekeeping was unique. First day one of the two beds was made and one of the two used towels were replaced. Second day the toilet appeared to have been used while we were out and was not completely flushed but the beds made. Third day beds were not made but we received new towels.

The security chain on the doorway was pulled out and bent a bit which was concerning and made us feel unsafe; it says under amenities they have free cribs , they don’t (but we called ahead of time and brought a pack n play) and if also says they have a microwave in the room (we didn’t and I was told SOME of the rooms had them). The staff was nice though and did get us a microwave from another room, but the microwave smelled burnt and my husband noticed it wasn’t grounded anymore so it could have burnt down the room and the building with it. So overall ok but if safety is a priority for your family I wouldn’t stay here
