Ross

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was in not great condition - a hole in the door, dirty mirror with stickers on it, and the jet tub was visibly dirty. The only staff we saw physically during our stay was a construction worker in the hallway. Checking in and out was via kiosk, and we did not see any other staff. Additionally, checkout was a hassle when the lobby door was locked to guests, although I was able to go outside and come back in the front door.

Accomodations adequate for the price point.

Accomodations were fine. I would trade less channels on the TV for a little bit better breakfast options. Oh, and the parking spot lines were painted very narrow.
