Mold on bathroom ceiling, broken hairdryer and broken window curtain. Very thin walls, could hear other guests. The TV was not in good shape, very bad picture and sound. Night front desk clerk was very rude when we called to in the middle of the night to report other guest being loud.

This property is in need of updating. The toilet was slow to flush, low water pressure, shower drains slowly, bathroom fan was extremely loud, hair dryer did not work, towels were thread bare, knob was gone from inside refrigerator so you couldn't tell what temperature it was set to, tv remote did not work. We checked in at 8:00pm, well after check-in time, and had to wait 40 minutes for our room. Breakfast was limited. We stayed 2 nights and no one came to clean our room. The hotel just seemed very understaffed. If you book through Expedia expect to have issues. According to the person that checked us in, only the manager has access to see if Expedia had paid. Even though I had paid Expedia I was told I would need to pay again because they couldn't tell I had paid and the manager was not available. It took over a week to get this straightened out. There was another family there that had the same issue. It was not just our family. The only positive thing I can say about this property is that it is conveniently located to shopping, dining, and the university.

The staff was extremely helpful. The room and overall appearance of hotel was run down. There were exposed electrical wires where it appeared a smoke detector should be. Breakfast was mediocre.

We come to this area often for medical appointments and we have stayed here many times. We keep coming back because of the staff, the cleanliness of the hotel and the comfort of the room. We love this hotel and will continue to return.

My first stay at your hotel. The very top thing about this hotel was the very friendly staff. The environment was very welcoming, the hour was late and the person who checked us in was so kind and personable that made us feel right at home.

So while there were some issues with my room (neither bed had a blanket, but the front desk gave me one right away) and the walls are fairly thin, it still was a nice stay. The front desk staff is fantastic and honestly they made the stay much better. They were quick to take care of any issues and always had a bright smile!

Get what you pay for, Absolutely enverything was old, worn out, carpet was sticky, linens flimsy, discusting matress topper instead of good matress, shower head unattached, hand held only water everywhere. Sad that an owner gets away with this, even the lower price was too much for the condition of the hotel and room. Wonder when is was last inspected?

General looks of the hotel were great until we got into our room. Only half of the lightbulbs worked, the room smelled like an old lady lived there long term, bedding was very scratchy, pillows and bed unforgiving, towels and washcloths were scratchy as well and breakfast was mediocre. Overall not a terrible stay but not a comfortable one.

It was very noisy all night. There was an empty room beside ours and it was empty. The window was left open and the tv was on and very loud. The floor needed swept. There were hairs everywhere. The desk chair had food all over it. Bed was comfortable. Pillows were throw pillows with pillow cases on them. We mever slept all night with the noise going on. The staff was very helpful and nice.
