The lobby is misleading

The lobby was nice and the rooms were decent, but getting from the parking lot to the room was gross. Breakfast wasn't great so we skipped it. There was also not much room to sit. It's in a sketchy area, but the back parking lot was walled off so it was somewhat protected. There were a lot of people hanging around the back door when we tried to enter. Hallways were dim and carpet is worn down. Bathtub was gross.

The lady at check-in was super nice! She was also accommodating to changing our room to floor 1 due to our luggage...as the idea of lugging stuff up the stairs in drizzle...no thank you. Beds are comfy with 4 pillows!!!!

Night staff received complaints about dog barking. The night staff was too aggressive in handling the situation. I’m sorry but dogs bark. She acted as if she was going to drag me out of the breakfast room. I was also a paying customer. I feel like once she saw I was black, she treated me rudely and disgustingly. Don’t start an argument with your guess. Also, don’t put non dog owners with dog owners. They pretty much kicked me out. Lied that the dog was barking all night which she didn’t. Nice hotel, I didn’t enjoy my stay unfortunately.

Check-in was easy and the lady at the front desk was very nice. The hot breakfast was good. Sadly, the hallways smelled of old cigarette smoke, but the rooms smelled fine. Also, the beds were not very comfortable.

The food is OK toppings for the waffle. The breakfast area has an old smell to it so that area needs to be remodeled upgraded to enjoy the food that is being provided for us. Why we asked our will stay. The rooms are basic what we pay for we get cleans Quiet affordable. It’s convenience right by the highway two to three miles from foods spots to really choose from.

No elevator

We use this hotel frequently for our trip down to Florida. It was convenient and economical. This was my first time using hotels.com to reserve a room and was upset when I was not on the first floor. However, I must not have read all the options to request that service. Steve tried to offer me a free gift, but I was tired and crabby and didn’t want to walk up any stairs due to no elevator. I learned my lesson to make sure to either ask if there’s elevator access or request a first floor room.

Not so great

So I want to start off by saying the people that work there are kind and courteous at check-in as well as check out. Unfortunately the hotel is very dated, it could use a better cleaning and some definite updating. The walls are paper thin and you could smell people next door smoking weed as well as cigarettes coming into our room so I had allergies all night and the next morning. We didn't say anything till check out because we did not want trouble as it was a Saturday night and there were some people that did not look very safe saying there because you could tell they were very high. The lobby is very nice looking but the rooms are just really outdated, the sheets had holes all in them, the pillows are thin and cheap. When you walk down the Halls it will give you a feel of the movie The Shining. They are very stingy on towels in the room . The only vending machine on the first floor of two floors does not work correctly . Again the people that work there are great they were very apologetic for the night before and they said they were sorry that some people just can't follow the rules. I would not stay here again.
