Excellent Stay. Would Stay Again.
Pros:

The staff was friendly, the rooms and lobby were clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the sheets were buttery soft.

Cons:

The light between the two beds became a night light when the lights were turned off. It made the room too bright for me, so it was hard to fall asleep. But once I did, I rested really well.

Would never stay here again
Cons:

This place was dirty. Floors dirty, gum stuck to carpet, elevator very dirty. Hallway and room smelled like air refresher. After I got back from dinner, room had smell I couldn’t place, but I suspect maybe was sweat. This was the second highest priced hotel in the area! Shameful that it cost so much.

I would go back today if I could.
Pros:

Of course everyone puts their best foot forward in ads on the internet. This place was really great. So clean. The bed was better than the one I have at home. Although I encountered few employees those I did see were friendly and helpful.
You register on line and you never know what you will see when you get there, This was excellent in every way. I was really pleased. Thanks for a lovely weekend.

It’s quite and relaxing environment
Pros:

The rooms were very comfortable and clean. It was a relaxing environment overall

Cons:

The weekend I was there I feel every room was full. The reason I say this is because I rate my stay on breakfast. It felt like everyone hit the kitchen at the same time. I’m NOT bad mouthing the cooks, they produced as much as they could as fast as they could possibly offer.
