The stay was alright, cleanliness of the room and linen could have been better.
Pros:

The facility was nice and clean. The staff was very friendly!

Cons:

The room was alright. I asked for stain free linen, but when we went to the room and moved the pillows, one of them had blood stains. We went to put our drinks in the refrigerator and there was already stuff from previous people. Also there were white stains all over the chair in the extra sitting room. There was a foul odor that we could still smell even after spraying Lysol.

Pros:

The location great, the breakfast was pretty good, and also the 1539 Lounge, my friend and I went there just before they were closing. Paige was our server and bartender and step dancer. The drinks she made for us were out of this world. The food was awesome. Please stop by and pay her a visit, and you don't have to be a patronage at the hotel.

It was a good place to get some rest after a long day of driving.
Pros:

It’s in a good location, close to the interstate. The room looked really nice, the bed was pretty comfortable. The check in desk receptionist was excellent and and she was the nicest person I have ever met in that position.

Cons:

The TV stopped working after about half an hour, the vanity sink drained very slowly, and the tub and the shower grout needed a little cleaning. It wasn’t terrible but it needed cleaned in a few spots.
