The staff was awesome. However, our room smelled like a damp basement. The hallways were filthy. Breakfast area was nice but small. People were on top of one another trying to get breakfast. I will not stay there again.

Sign at check in said they were short staffed. Bathroom door didn’t lock. Door to the room didn’t lock behind us when we left for dinner — had to bolted from inside the room. Old cigarette on floor in room. Uncomfortable bed and pillows. Staff that was there was friendly and helpful.

The room has a heavy smoke smell and was filthy. I didn't stay the night and the manager agreed to reimburse Hotels.com and I would get the room reimbursement once that was reviewed. Please call me @ 508-965-5243 to discuss
