Wanted look for somewhere else to stay
Pros:

Main entrance is an open door, ANY one could just in there. Did not feel safe at all. Bed was comfortable, pretty clean. There is an ice machine in a non lit room, no vending. You can by soda at desk but before 11 being there is no one at the desk after 11, amd again main front door is open. Like duck even blocking it from latching. But we
would NOT go back there.

Cons:

Front open, no one at service desk after 11 at all.

Pros:

The place was really spacious and clean. I love the room overall look Wise.

Cons:

The staff really killed the experience they gave me two complaints in the span of 10 minutes one for just talking and the other was playing low music so you kinda just have to be bored and really quiet but the worst part was when I was packing to leave for checkout I forgot my charger and I came back 20 minutes later to retrieve it and I asked him can he look in the room because I had literally just left and he refused to. He said he just checked already but the last place I had it was on the hotel bed so they’re just careless

Clean and comfortable. Nice staff.
Pros:

Easy to get to. A title off the freeway but easy to find. Friendly family staff.

Cons:

Noise came in from upstairs and the lobby. Thin walls? Nothing late at night. Windows need cleaning but it may be difficult in the weather. No breakfast. Coffee and tea available in the morning.

Pros:

Die Unterkunft war gut gelegen. Das Personal war freundlich.

Cons:

Leider am Abend im Nachbarzimmer eine Party stark gefunden, die einen riesigen Lärm verursacht hatte. Das ging bis spät abends, ohne dass jemand reagiert hätte.
