Pros:

It is a kind of quiet area, could not find some restaurant. There is a bar nearby, but it is not our style. So we stayed at hotel and grab snack at gas station.

Pros:

We were down to see a concert so we just needed someplace overnight. Germaine fit our needs just fine. Nothing fancy, but clean and very comfortable beds. Excellent value as was the least expensive option of many.

Pros:

Inside was great, the parking lot had a lot of trash and there was a hypodermic needle among the trash. Again, staff, inside and stay was exceptional. Thank you

Pros:

This property has big rooms with all amenities. Buffet breakfast is very good and suitable for travelers. Elevator is very convenient for those on upper floors. Not much food wise within walking distance but much within a short drive. Overall I could recommend this hotel.

Pros:

Elderly family member stayed for early morning medical appointment. I asked desk staff if she could schedule a taxi pickup. Her response was to give ME the phone number of the local taxi. Room had no alarm clock. Had to go but one at local Walgreens. Room had no tissues. They brought us a 'travel size' box of tissues.

Pros:

The water temperature never got warm. We were told that is just their waters temperature. We discovered blood on the bottom of the sheets. Asked for new sheets, they never came. Finally had to go to the front desk to get them and strip the bed ourselves. Cheap option but not completely worth the savings.

Pros:

Bathroom door knob was broken, giant hairball on the shower wall, washer And dryer broken, dirty floor turned our white socks brown, reservation for 4 but only towels for 2, no haircare products (shampoo and conditioner) in bathroom, signage to find amenities like the pool were either nonexistent or hard to find, pool was fun but no big deal. Not impressed for $300 a night! I’ve had perfect stays at other hotels for $89 a night! Never coming back!
