Goon value for the money. The staff were very a tentative and polite. The property is a bit rough on the fine stuff and the breakfast could definitely use some additions. It does meet the definition of a continental breakfast but is not a crowd pleaser.

Disliked: Amenities
Staff tried to be very accommodating.I filled out the preregistration and requested a room on the first floor. They said they never got the request so I had to start all over. We had to drag our luggage up the stairs. Extremely difficult for older people. We had to request items like toilet paper and klenex for our room.Our room keys never worked and we were constantly having to get the keys reprogrammed.The breakfast bar was crowded with a a very poor selection of breakfast items. It was poor enough to where we always went out to breakfast some where else. I will never stay at this hotel again!

When we arrived I was told my reservation was for 1 room not the 2 I had booked. As the reservation was booked thru Expedia there was nothing the hotel could do. I had the itinerary # but not the hotel’s confirmation # and the itinerary # was meaningless to the hotel. Luckily they had rooms available. For the rest of our trip we either spoke directly to the hotels or went thru the hotel website. In the room we had, the bed was broken. There was no elevator. The bedding was not clean. The bathroom was clean.

As long as the bed and pillows are comfortable, the parking is easy and safe, there’s no bugs in the hotel…. We’re very happy.

The room was clean, staff friendly, good location. My only complaints are: the smoke detector in the hallway constantly chirped because of low batteries and the exhaust fan in our room's bathroom was horrendously noisy and sounded like it was on its last leg.
