The room was clean, bathroom clean, bed comfortable, good TV reception, front desk clerk pleasant, and complimentary coffee in the morning. Reasonable price for a nice room.
Yes I felt very much neglected. I checked in. Went to my room.pulled the sheets back on one of the beds and there were spots on the sheets and pillows what appeared to look like blood stains. I called to the front desk androld thw person at the front desk. He came down and told me.to use the other bed. I asked for a different room and he told there were no other rooms available. Then proceeded to give me more sheets for me to change them myself. Woke ip the next morning to roaches crawling on the bed. This was the worst experience of all time and being that i booked third party i couldnt get a refund to go aome where else. I also have pictures of it all i do believe that i am entitled to a refund or some type of credi for the horrible experience
Desk clerk was nice enough but the room was awful. There was stuffed walls no inside lock for the exterior door, no washcloths, soap,shampoos, conditioner, no blow dryer no blankets the future was so damaged I was afraid to even touch it much less put anything on it . Our room were between to other's with loud music and talking outside our room. We knew we wouldn't be reimbursed so we stayed againts our will and the smell was so bad we left hours before we wanted just because we couldn't breathe in the room. We won't be back nor will we recommend it.

Very clean and comfortable I slept really well. 10 out of 10!
A note at the front desk said they would be back in 15 minutes. It was 25. That was checkin. Breakfast in the morning was one already cold pot of coffee. The TV did not work.
On the positive, the room was clean.
This place is incredibly dirty and not well-maintained. I don't think it meets the standard for listing on Expedia. Nearly all aspects of the room were very poor.
Thank You for a such affordable room rate. Service was great, room was good. Bed was comfortable. TV channels selections was great. No issues. Plan on coming back when I'm in town again.

I book my room around 7:30-8 pm on the app, very easy to use and got a great room for a great price at that time (booking same day)
The staff was friendly and helpful. We were very satisfied with the room and the location was convenient to everything (family, chutch, shopping). We would be happy to stay here next time we're in town.
