We had a wonderful stay even if it was 1 night room was very large which gave plenty room and space
Pros:

The Breakfast really needs an upgrade really really bad of the breakfast had hot meals like egg sausage toast boiled eggs and etc. This hotel will be top notch a lot of times when people go to hotels they look for good breakfast.

Cons:

Only problem I seen was the breakfast needs to be upgraded l. I saw another post about the breakfast that was in 2025, I thought maybe it would have have gotten better by now.

Cons:

The lady at the front desk Kimberly was very disrespectful and really didnt understand who she was dealing with my wife is a doctor and I’m a police officer and ur attitude was rude .

Cons:

The room are not clean and some people from the staff are not welcoming and supporting any request.

I had to request 3 times to have another room because it was not clean, damaged, smelly and with moisture, all 3 rooms were in the same bad condition.

Overall the stay was great. Clean rooms that don’t cost a fortune, breakfast was simple but tasty and had options. I don
Pros:

It was very clean and the storage was very nice. The little closet/cabinet/shelf/dresser was so convenient to hold all our things

Cons:

They were a little weird with my 16 year old son. Not in a creepy way, but in a low key hateful way. He asked where he could find an ice machine and the lady at the front desk asked if he had just come in off the street. He was in his baseball uniform. Another night he asked a different person for clean towels because we had our do not disturb sign up, but needed clean towels to shower. They made him come back up to the room, get the dirty towels (that we had in a pile to place in the bathtub when we left) take them to the laundry room himself, and then only gave him one extra towel even though he tried explaining that we both needed one for our last shower.

The room worked for what we needed it for at the moment, but I don't see myself staying here again.
Pros:

The older woman who works the front desk was friendly. She gave my children coloring pages for them to color for the holiday. The back deck area is nice and comfortable. The closest gas station is 2 doors down so you can easily walk there. Check in was pretty simple.

Cons:

The room. It left a lot to be desired. The shower head was spraying water out of the back. It had clearly been doing it for a while because the paint on the ceiling was peeling away. There was also a big crack in the tub and there is NO ventilation whatsoever in the bathroom, either. Even with the fan on, it felt like we were in a sauna. Cleaning staff did NOT come through the room in the morning. We ended up taking our own trash out and having to go to the desk to request new towels. There was some type of mold or water damage in the breakfast area (I have provided a picture).
