Not happy. Will never book here again.
Pros:

Didn’t really like anything about it unfortunately.

Cons:

It doesn’t feel very safe when you first get to your room and there’s 2 additions locks on the door. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, felt like you were sleeping on a cushion full of springs. The bathroom was extremely unpleasant, the shower floor was brown in color not white like it is supposed to be, the toilet broke and wasn’t able to flush the toilet properly, the water pressure was awful. It felt like it took 10 minutes just to get soap off of your body… The booking ad was great and then you get to the hotel and it was like you got catfished. It looked nothing like the pictures online. As soon as we walked into the room we contemplated leaving and just going to get a different hotel…

Our Thanksgiving Getaway ...
Pros:

Our stay was very pleasant and the location was perfect for us in regards to visiting our families on both sides!

Cons:

We had only one negative complaint which was a defective iron in our room but it was handled immediately once we notified the front desk about the problem.

Not a hotel that I would come to again. Wasn't up to my standards.
Pros:

The friendly staff was the best part about this visit. They assisted me with a refund because I didn't need the full stay and was very cooperative and helpful. The other guests who I encountered were also very friendly and greeting.

Cons:

The hotel is old. Fans in hallways. Base boards torn off of walls in some areas. Elevator had a spill on the floor. I checked the sheets in one room and discovered spots on them. However, the desk staff was willing to accommodate another room. Again, the staff was the best part of this stay.
