Hotel smelled like ganja.

Excellent for a family of 6. Room was very clean and had a good size mini fridge. Sadly no pool.

very nice hotel for the price which i booked at the last minute. only issue was some stains on the floor of the bedroom, dust bunnies in the bathroom in the corners, and breakfast was minimal. no eggs, no pancakes, no sausages, and only 2 bagels.

Breakfast was good. Facility was very clean ! Staff was courteous. Rooms are well maintained and updated. Noise. A Visiting group of, adolescent, soccer players from Africa, here for a workshop were very rowdy until 11:30 pm. Playing soccer in the halls of the third floor. I could not get to sleep until after that time. They're chaperones did not quiet them down until after 11 pm. Staff did not intervene. Immediate grounds are well kept, however the boarder areas shared by adjacent properties, and surrounding, other properties are cluttered and weedy.

Ok for one night…would not stay again. Stains on the blankets, micro pillows and you better be below average size to fit in the bathroom. Nothing as advertised. The halls were dark and musty smelling…I couldn’t imagine having a conference here.
-
Nice, clean property in good condition. I’ll happily stay here again in the future.

Rooms were disgusting and not clean. Large brown stain on bedding which appeared to be poop, puke on floor, bedside table and curtains. Floor was filthy. Got a new room but that room had a broken window, nail in the floor that could have gone into someone’s foot and there was only 1 working outlet in the entire room. The floor was also filthy, food remnants and dirt all over. Dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed at. Also the elevator made very concerning noises. Children running up and down hallways past 10pm. Staff was friendly.
-
I liked the price. From the outside, it looks nice. I didn't like the staff, the $50 down payment that was not asked for until after I paid for the room, the room had tape on the door, burn marks in my sheets and it smelled.

Decent price Not that clean
