    The staff were not welcoming at all. Very dry, never returned any thank you’s with your with your welcome, no smiles… nothing. The bed sheets had stains, the shower head was crusty, the stairway areas just felt musty and even found some throw up in one stairwell. Location was awesome and despite the stains covers and sheets, the bed was comfortable.

    Travelling from out of the country, arrived early and could not get into the room until 4 pm. There is nowhere to go and wait. It Is not close enough to the airport, the coat of $25.00 for an Uber ride to get there. Cleanliness is on the very low side.

    The beds are not bad.

    when I booked the hotel, I booked traveling with a pet and had to pay 20 extra dollars per day upon arriving. even though I think the price was fair, I think it should have been included when I made the reservation online and not a surprise fee upon arriving. I went in the hotel front desk to check in and when I got back to my car the guy is waving me back in because he saw my dog in the car and had to run another transaction for the fee of my dog. since I scheduled traveling with pet, why didnt he catch on and wave me back in for a 2nd transaction? not very professional. to make matters worse when we arrived it was night time. you can not read the numbers of the `room #'s on the doors. I had to get out of my car to see the room #'s. when I found my room # there was no parking until I got to the end of the parking lot. our room was in the beginning of the parking lot. being that my husband is a professinal drummer and had very expensive equipment in the car we were uncomfortable with the car so far away. I went back to the front desk and asked for a different room. one that had parking outside of our room. I was told there were no other rooms available for what I booked so we had no choice but to have our vehicle parked far away from our room. the dog park they advertize is a small patch of grass and dog poop all over. no dimmers on the lights in the room. I wish we couldve been able to dim the lights. there is littering all around the perimeters of the property. I think they should hire someone to clean all the debris up and that would really help to spruce the property up. when we were checking out we were slightly past the check out time and this guy came around to our room, saying if we didnt hurry up he would charge us a late check out fee. over all, things weren't horrible. it was okay for a 2 night stay.

    for the price the room was descent enough. the room was nothing fancy but it was clean, cherful, and roomy for my husband, myself and our 40lb dog. our king size bed was very comfortable and I really enjoyed the pillows. they made my sleeping experience good and refreshing. the color pallet was pretty. I liked the sink counter. it was large enough for my make-up and perfumes and etc.

    They do not take pride keeping the place clean. I was there an hour early driving from Ohio and I still had to pay an additional $15 just so I can lay down in their bed.

    I liked nothing about the property. I was locked in the bathroom for 10 minutes before they came to open it. The room next to us had a problem with the door, so it made a noise when it opened and close very horrible noise that woke us up every time. Four days within our stay we found a cockroach walking around. I understand that it’s a smokers room, but cleanliness is still a big thing for people that smoke.

    It could sure use an update. The sink faucet was old & had a corroded finish. The entrance door to the room had such a gap that it let the cold outside air in. The filter elements in the HVAC unit were filthy. I had to clean them myself, because when I turned the unit on, it smelled so bad. Speaking of smell, the room had a strange smell, like one that was trying to mask another one, like a musty odor or the like. The TV needed 2 remotes to work different primary functions. The thing that bothered us the most was a few “guests” were loud into the night, and didn’t seem to respect others. I got the distinct impression that some people come there just to party and have sex. There was an empty box of Trojan condoms left outside one of the rooms near us. We felt uncomfortable, and will avoid staying there again.

    The management staff was very friendly and helpful.

    The outside of the hotel was not up to my expectations. also, the breakfast was not they only offered a granola bar and coffee which was a surprise Overall it was okay. I don't know if I would stay at this hotel again, given all the different hotels in the area.

    The staff were very nice. The room was also very good. I liked the change of decor. I like the wood floors and the bed was comfortable.

    We were booked to stay Sat night only. Storm was coming, we decided to go night before so we wouldn't have to drive in bad weather. Called to add extra night-told to go thru Bk.com. However we wanted to stay in same room for the weekend. Arrived and we worked it out that we didn't have to check out at 10 to have to wait to check back in. Assured we were ok for the weekend in the same room. Went about our business on Sat (left tip in env for service). Got back, $$ was gone but room not touched. Checked out and questioned missing money and no service. Guy told us we were supposed to check out and back in even though Fri night person wrote note about stay. Took money for no service. Waiting to see if card is charged add'l day for NOT checking out of room we already paid for. Too many other hotels nearby where we would be more respected as guests.

    The room was everything that we wanted and we planned on making this our go to place whenever in the area. However...
