I just wished the breakfast options each morning would have changed up a bit. At least add bacon, REAL orange juice and not Sunny D and freanch toast sticks. But front desk staff was amazing and available when I needed them. Rooms condition was worse than the pictures online and walls were filthy, had to ask to get a table or something clean by the front desk as cleaning staff was just chatting away.

Parking is convenient. Great restaurant next door that serves wonderful Brunch as well as lunch/dinner. Also a Wffle House and Dennys less than a mile away. Plenty of convenient stores. The hotel is not five star. You get what you pay for. It’s clean enough for me. I didn’t see anything wrong with the cleanliness. Old yes and shabby. The King suite is huge and the room is separated, they need to purchase new TVs but I don’t go to the hotel to watch the Telly.
