Good location with many amenities nearby. Parking is free and available. Staff was helpful. Room smelled musty. The drapes were dirty. Breakfast was ok could have been better. The front desk person should at least smile when talking. You are in service business.

Floors were filthy. Not swept nor mopped. Socks were black after walking around in the room for a few minutes. Shower head was cracked so showering with water just trickling out or putting shower on all the way and flooding the floor. Bath tub looked as though they never scrubbed since installation. Coins were on the floor in the bathroom so you know floor wasnt clean after prior guest. Its a non smoking room but smells like cigarettes were smoked in there. The hotel did try to fix by showing us different rooms but one room smelled like marijuana, one room's bed was sagging in the center. Location was good. A lot of places to eat. I would not recommend this place.
Not white floors

The walls had knife holes in them. The curtains were torn and looked like they had also been damaged by a knife. There was damage to the front door that looked like someone attempted to repair. I do not recommend staying here!!!
