Facility was run down and could use an overhaul. There was a cockroach in the bathroom and the attendee at the continental breakfast was very rude to the guests. Also ran out of food and coffee before the continental breakfast hours were over. The attendee was informed but did nothing about it. Also ran out of coffee .

The front desk attendant, Tommy, was absolutely amazing. So friendly, so nice. If we needed anything, he was in it. The room wasn’t bad- we were in the first floor and had a patio that we could use for fresh air, which we needed. The room smelled a little musty but wasn’t anything terrible. Breakfast in the morning was good and offered lots of different options. There is a Chili’s restaurant attached to the hotel so you could walk upstairs and eat there if you wanted. There is also a bar attached. The location is great because you have several dining options within walking distance and there is a Walmart, Target, TJ Max, Homegoods and Lowe’s right there also. I would definitely book here again.

Lots of stores and restaurants to choose from. The hotel seemed a bit rundown. The backdoor didn't work, parking was weird, grounds not well maintained. No outdoor seating, I was on ground floor and the carpet felt damp, I got up to find a centipede in the tub. When I arrived the place smelled like weed, maybe legal there, but I don't like it but was too tired to make a fuss. Wouldn't stay there again.

In very poor condition- wifi is abysmal and barely accommodates email. Rooms (we had two) smelled wet and unpleasant. Both bathrooms had drainage problems- sinks and tubs. Not sure how it has good ratings as we had two rooms for three days and got a good idea of what the place was like. Staff tried to be helpful but didn't seem to have enough help. Our checkin took 20 minutes as the person was away clearing a clogged drain and toilets (evident by the plunger and gear in his hands when he returned). He was quite nice but by then we had stood there a long time and there were 5 or more people behind us waiting for checking. Sheets had other people's hair in it as did the bathroom. It just isn't a welcoming place but ok for a night if you are in a pinch? Halls also smelled of weed and some sort of "air freshener" to cover it. It didn't bother me but my colleague found it bothered their sinuses. I actually preferred that smell to that of the wetness and mildew...
Response from Tommy on 7 May 2024

The room is very nice, clean, and comfy. However, the night staff was not very friendly or helpful. He told us that there was no hot water, but offered no solution. Next morning the water was barely running and ice cold. Manager did give points for another nights stay. Manager, Tommy was wonderful and kind about the whole thing, but no hot water should be stated before check in is completed.

Needed to extend my stay from 7 nights to 18, and the staff was very helpful & accommodating. The only irritating thing for me was the television! Finding channels & navigating to them was far from intuitive. I was told to refer to a laminated channel guide that was not in my room, staff member looked & concurred. Luckily I had my laptop & HDMI cable. My Roku stick would have been even more useful!

I didn't like that the bathroom wasn't properly cleaned before our stay. There was long hair in each of the corners and several strands in the bathtub. Unpleasant shower experience, lukewarm water that suddenly went very cold. Debated on whether to rinse in the cold water or wait...another ten minutes before the water got hot. Heard from other guest in the morning that they had a very similar experience. The breakfast buffet was good, staff in attendance were great, very friendly.
