This is just a very plain hotel. A few walls have damage or marks and that seemed to look bad in my opinion. The room was clean. The scrambled eggs at breakfast were really bad. I paid $175 (room and tax) for a Saturday night in October. It was extremely overpriced. I had a much nicer room in Jackson, MO at the Drury the night before for $50 less.

My room was not cleaned during my stay. I’m very disgusted and disappointed. Left the room around noon on 9/4 to attend an event. Stopped at the front desk on my way to ask for more toilet paper when the room is clean. I was then told that I had to ASK for my room to be cleaned during check-in. I WAS NOT TOLD THIS AT !!! My room was never cleaned I only received the toilet paper that I asked for and new toilet. The room was also loud from the a/c and the guest upstairs. I have a recording. The room was $398. I will never stay there again and will advise other to avoid this property. What a waste of money!!!!!

Toilet never stopped running and eventually would not go down. When told staff after waiting for someone to appear for 15 mins they handed us a plunger. House keeping did not stop in on a two night stay.

We stayed for one night. WiFi didn’t work. We asked the front desk for help. They reset it but didn’t resolve the issues. There was no curtain to black out the street lights for the room.
