Very comfortable bed. Good healthy breakfast options. Very clean property.
Pros:

It was clean and the staff was professional. Donna the desk clerk was very accommodating. I needed an accessible room and there were none. This hotel doesn’t have an elevator, so, Donna helped my daughter take our luggage to the second floor. Talk about going above and beyond!! Well, we went to get some food, and went we came back, Donna found a first floor room. You see, I am disabled . It’s great to see people with great customer service skills. Thank you, Donna.

Cons:

The TV remote didn’t work in room 120.

Staff sucks, Management too!! Stay somewhere else if you can!!
Pros:

Clean

Cons:

I booked my reservation on Booking paid for 1 night, paid the $50 incidental fee at the property when I checked in, the following day I tried to extend my stay. They told me I would have to rebook with booking, so I did that, (even thought I’m a Hilton Rewards Member) then they tried to charge me another $50 incidental fee. When I usually stay at this property if I need to extend they just charge me the room rate, but never recharge for the incidental. So I canceled my extension thru booking and have yet to be refunded for the room and the incidental fee!! .. the last time I stayed here they overcharged me for an additional night, and have yet to receive the refund.. The management here sucks, I DO NOT RECOMMEND STAYING HERE, the staff is very unprofessional.
