    There are no towel racks in the bathroom!! Where are you supposed to hang your wet towels and washcloths? We hate duvet covers. No blankets, so you are either too hot or you are too cold just under the top sheet. There were no electrical outlets at the desk area and few places to plug in devices.

    The site is very convenient for us. The place is clean. It was easy to get to our room. The breakfast was adequate.

    Parking and single entrance isn’t ideal. Young woman checking me in seemed annoyed she had to get off the lobby sofa when I walked in.

    Chair, in room very uncomfortable, Luke warm water our first night, no TV guide, girl at front desk was miserable, we asked for ice because the machine was broken and she told us to go buy a bag!!room 301 was very noisy from the highway, Breakfast very minimal. My son in law was with us and had no choice for gluten free other than cheerios, but he is also lactose intolerant. Unfortunately, it will be our last time here.

    The only real downside is the location requires driving to most places of interest. But not far and the value outweighs this inconvenience

    This is a great bargain. Clean, comfortable, and functional. No frills. Helpful and kind staff.

    Breakfast was horrible. Yogurt was low-fat and sugary (We like whole yogurt, plain with fresh fruit.) The only fresh food were the hotel green apples and they were tasteless (not tart nor sweet)but they looked nice for decoration on the front desk. The microwaveable breakfast biscuits were just all carbs and frozen packaged low quality. Decaf coffee not great. Coffee in room was in a plastic one-use filter holder even if it wasn't a pod. Just very low quality everything. Location was not too far from downtown by car, but not walkable. There were no towel rails - only a single hook on the back of the bathroom door in a 4-person room. There was a whole empty wall painted bright orange with no towel rail- this is ridiculous!!! How can we re-use a towel with no place to hang it???!!!

    Room was clean

    Right next to highway, with highway noise. The hotel advertises that it has a fitness room, but there was only two treadmill machines, and one elliptical. And, only one treadmill worked. No weights or other machines. Complementary breakfast was minimalist. Toast/bagels/muffins, yogurt, instant cereal, three cold, cereals, coffee, tea, apples. No warm food.

    It was clean. Front desk staff were helpful and responsive. Free and ample parking.

    The ONLY dislike I had was where the hotel is next to a busy road I could hear big rigs use their jake brake. This of course is not the fault of the hotel. As far as regular traffic, I never heard a peep.

    The room was great for a solo traveler. Single bed that was very comfy. The room itself was stylish and comfy. The desk placement was perfect to use my laptop and watch TV. The 3 ball lamp in the corner was a nice touch to the aesthetics. The bathroom was clean and spacious as I am a bigger person. Plenty of room! Biggest perk was an AC that actually went below 67 degrees! Most hotels I have stayed at lock the AC to 66-67 degrees at the lowest. This place's AC went all the way to 60 degrees!

    The doors to the rooms would slam shut, making it noisy if neighbors were going in and out of their room at night. The carpeting in the room gave off a musty smell to the room.

    Very comfy bed, good bathroom, spacious room. Liked the place to put my suitcase. Very convenient breakfast hours and they had everything I usually like to eat for breakfast.
