Junior suite was very roomy. The hotel is centrally located. Can walk to downtown restaurants and stores. We have stayed there four times and would definitely return.

Looks great on the outside, the room was nice. Bathroom could use an update. Virtual check in was different but effective. Overall a good stay

Great place for a great price
The facility is cozy and housekeeping took care of my room each day when I was out. The virtual check-in was odd but easy. Some sketchy characters outside but what can a hotel do about the people around it

Would never stay there!
I left the hotel shortly after checking in. The front desk clerk was remote, elevator was broken, the main light switch in the room did nothing, it smelt awful, the TV was on, what I would assume was the previous occupant left their empty money envelop on the desk, the door wasn’t overly secure and the microwave was moldy and very dirty. I did not feel comfortable or safe in that location and booked another with in 5 minutes of arriving.

Good Place to Stay
It was a good stay. Staff were very helpful. The Inn is pretty dated and rooms are a little small. Bathrooms need updates and remodeling. Everything was clean and the staff was great. Disappointed that they did not have complimentary breakfast

Average, not worth 160.00/ night
We stayed here in Fall 2023 - seemed 'better' back then.
Just stayed here Sept 6th-7th - 1 night. Bathroom adequate but looks tired and not updated.
No drain cover on sink? black Mold spotted around tub caulked edge.
But- One really Nice thing - VERY nice hot water and lots of it- made 2 fill ups on a bath I took before bed.
mattress on bed comfortable enough, mattress was encased - did have to retrieve something that fell close to under bed....NOT clean under there.
Cob webs, candy wrapper, dust.
The place needs a 'refresh' ....

Would stay again.
We had a nice stay here. The receptionist was very friendly and pleasant. The bed was amazingly comfortable and I'm really picky about beds because of chronic pain. I slept GREAT. There wasn’t breakfast as advertised but there was coffee in the lobby in the morning. It was too much for what it was but it’s very obvious that the building is being taken care of and that the folks running it are working hard to make a nice stay for their guests. Would stay again.

Think Twice about this Place
When I checked in the amazing Puerto Rican woman was great, friendly, and informative.
I did deal with another lady because our keys where damaged and she was terrible, not friendly, doesn't know how to say thank you, please, or you are welcome. Another night she told us that it was nice that you got here by 11pm because I don't now how you would get back in your room. @ nights of getting keys fixed.

The location was great and the parking lot was large.
The elevator creaked, the hotel was dated and needed an upgrade, and I did not like the automated check in system and no personel at the front desk after 5pm

Why not to use Hotel.com/ Expedia group.
Never went there. Cancelled our trip due to unexpected death notification in our family. Called to cancel and requested a refund but was lied to by hotel.com reps along with expedia rep! Clear as day why they were hit with a huge lawsuit for online hotel booking wrong doings! The hotel was not much help either! Waited over three weeks for a response never got one.Heartless!

I did not like that nobody is on premises to check-in and check-out. Property was updated cheaply over damage. It was clean and smelled good, beds are comfortable and quiet on the 3rd floor!

Not so great place to stay but cheap
The facility could use updating especially the elevator and dingy hallways-was much better years ago when it was owned by Microtel. Also it was not easy to have check-in during week on Zoom-should have in person at desk at all times.

Not worth it.
This room was very shabby and dirty. Thank god the sheets were clean but everything else was grubby. Dirty dusty lamp, hair on the bathroom floor, something (soda) dripping down the wall. The TV was missing the HDMI cord and didn’t work but I told the front desk and they did fix it. The satellite box is screwed to the wall next to the TV.
Not a place I will ever stay again.
