The room was alright just smelled a bit funky. It also felt like I was the only one in the whole place so that was a bit unnerving. Aside from that I can’t really complain. Staff was cool

Toilet looked like one at rest stop on highway. No toilet tank, just handle. Seemed underclassed. An extra mirror in the bedroom area would be nice. Only one hanger for clothes was not enough. Breakfast was good. Heat was good. Location was good.

Room was clean. Great location. Parking was a bit confusing we parked in back parking lot $16 but found out there is a garage on lower level, we weren't told about it. We will for sure stay there again. Breakfast options were very good too. Eggs, sausage patties, home fries, cereal, toast, bagels, yogurt, oatmeal, waffles, juice, coffee, tea. They didn't have decaf coffee though. Bed was firm but comfortable enough. Down side we had a great view overlooking the park but loud exhausts driving by did wake us up a few times. All in all we were very satisfied

Room was clean. Ceiling had missing paint though. Staff were very friendly. Not sure why there was a scarcity of toilet paper. Multiple guests asked and was told to ask at the front desk and they didn’t have. You can’t start a stay with less than half a roll and no one replenishes it!

So I will start with saying I normally book 4 or more star hotels but since it was only a few hours I did go cheap. You do get what you pay for. It WAS NOT horrible , but the building can be updated. The staff was nice and helpful. The parking was a bit tricky it seema like you need your key card to get in but it didn't work. The garage is a bit creepy but worth the extra pay to keep your car safe. The room was okay. Air conditioner DID NOT work. The towels were awful BRING YOUR OWN. They are not even full towels. The pillows are very thin and the bed is not comfortable. But again it was fine for a few hours to stay. Based on other reviews I did not encounter any uncleanness like dirty sheets, bugs, mold, or bad smells. The floors are a bit sticky and carpets do need to be cleaned. I would not have done 2 nights.
