Please DO NOT stay here.
Pros:

The location was very easy to reach. Near stores and amenities.

Cons:

The rooms had mold and mildew. The bed was wobbly with poor foundation, towels were not clean, and the door didn't lock nor did it have the secondary safety lock latch. Very unsafe. I have asthma and I couldn't even stay the night in the room. The price was very high for the quality of the room. I have stayed here before a couple of years ago and it was very nice and well kept. But this stay was so traumatic, I slept in my car.

Dated facilities and standard upkeep not being done.
Pros:

The staff was nice. The location was great and the parking was easy. The property felt secure. Overhead lighting in the rooms is a very nice touch!

Cons:

The bathroom had no towel rack, no toilet paper holder, no wash cloth holder, and the ceiling paint was peeling badly. You just had to set everything, including the toilet paper on the counter. One tiny bar of soap and no shampoo was provided, so you had to carry the tiny bar from the sink to the shower and back. All of this could be fixed cheaply and in a couple of hours. The hallway carpet has shrunk from water damage and did not meet the doors. The doors did not close automatically. The coffee was badly burnt and breakfast was very low quality ingredients.

I was in town for an event that I was working,and didn’t have time to address issue at check in. Immediately after retur
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

When I arrived the front desk was under staff which led to several guest waiting and becoming frustrated. After finally getting checked in to my room I was absolutely disgusted with the condition of the rooms stains on the furniture as well as the linings.

Would 100% stay here again.
Pros:

Loved the uniqueness and the location. The beds were super comfortable, and the curtains made the rooms very dark for great rest.

Cons:

I wish the bar area was open nightly.
