I have stayed here before because of its proximity to my family. Sadly it has become run down. Our room was fairly comfortable, but the bathroom door wouldn’t close all the way and there wasn’t a handle on the inside. I didn’t take pictures.

Non smoking room reeked of cigarettes, the bathroom was missing the door handle, and the door did not shut anyway, the sink spits water horizontally out, you get soaked trying to use it. The place was overall dirt and looks like there has been no maintenance for years.Looks nothing like the pictures on your site.

Property was clean, but rooms were a bit run down. AC/Heat was not working properly and was obnoxiously loud when used. There was no water pressure. Staff was asked not to disturb and the knocking on the door started at 10am on a 3 day stay.

Property was convienent for our plans we had this past weekend. The young man that works at the front desk was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Room wasn't as clean as we would have liked. We got parking right in front both nights we stayed over and felt better about this since we had a nice car rental.
