The fooor in the room was not clean but the linens were very clean . The staff was great . Will come back! Christie
The room smelled very clean upon entering but the floors were dirty!!! Black feet and socks if I wasn’t wearing my shoes. Everything else was great. It’s a very safe area and the staff was very friendly. Able to walk to everything!
Our bathroom had black around the tub. Dogs were in the room next door and barked on and off day and night. Very disturbing. Breakfast very limited and during breakfast the morning clearly came and got in the way so we could not get to the waffle maker. Outside of our room the sidewalk and driveway always had dirty looking water from the laundry and they made use pay $10.00 a day parking which was a ripoff. Pets should have to be on the backside of the hotel away from paying customers that do not have pets. I think we were totally overcharged for the room and parking we were charged and the service and enjoyment we received.
The location was great. I could not tell you where or when I have seen a friendlier, kinder or more helpful staff. Hats off to them and a big thank you.
The room was nice and met our needs. I didn't know there was a parking fee but, considering the # of tourists I can understand it. Also, we had to leave early due to a health issue so, I'm hoping the lady at the front desk follows through on refunding 2 nights of parking I paid for but ended up not using!
The staff was by far and away my favorite thing about this place. They were so friendly and helpful. It was clean and comfortable. I would stay here again.
The location was perfect. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We would stay there again.

Basic budget hotel
The hotel is basic budget hotel. Recently renovated but the workmanship was shoddy...i.e. paint drips on the floor, single coat not hiding the color underneath, peeling walls, etc. The hot breakfast consisted of waffle or oatmeal. Single ply toilet paper and tissue. The bed was comfortable and staff friendly.
I like the whole experience, however when showering my water would go cold, the hot… it’s as if someone flushed and my water would go cold, I would have to step out of the water because it would get too cold to stand under the water.
Ms Lynn was awesome, thank you Lynn for all your help.
