Friendly staff. Bathroom needs some attention.
Pros:

Convenient location. Bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Bathroom was somewhat clean but needs a deep clean. Sink was cracked. Grout was dirty. Vent in bathroom had dust in it and appeared to have black mold in it.

Pros:

Ryan on the front desk was extremely helpful with a problem i had with my computer. I am not very computer savvy and he helped me negotiate through the process of booking my air bnb because of a problem with our first booking. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable and saved me a lot of frustration. He is definitely an excellent asset to your staff. The breakfast was very well done with fresh fruit and everything else to make a great start to the morning.

Pros:

It was clean, good location to the fairgrounds.

Cons:

The lady in charge of the breakfast staff was nasty. Had everyone timed. Says its 9:30 am, time to wrap it up. Most hotels will let you still finish your breakfast past the ending time.
