Vending machine didn’t work, but the staff said they couldn’t do anything. Staff was foul mouthed when she didn’t know a guest had come off the elevator. Gave them a bad review when they wrote to me and someone called. She didn’t call to fix my problem - but to tell me I was wrong. I’ve never seen such attitudes. She wanted to have a district manager call me. I told I’d wasted enough time with her on what should have been a minor issue (the vending machine). I guess the saying it is hard to get good help is true for this hotel.

Took three tries to get our key cards to work. Must ask front desk if you want supplies for your kitchen. One shelf in closet was completely broken upon arrival. Smell in hallway was horrible and unidentifiable. No regular cream for the 6a coffee.

Dear THOMAS, Thank you for reviewing our hotel. Please accept our apologies for the difficulties you experienced with your key card and for the inconvenience this caused. Every guest who walks through our doors should expect a clean, well-maintained property as their home away from home when traveling. Therefore, we sincerely apologize that this was not your experience. We will share these notes appropriately. We would love another opportunity to show you the great visit we are known for, which you deserve.Sincerely,Hotel Management

I arrived after 11 and was chastised like a petulant teen for not calling about my "late check in". I had reserved the room for three days. I was traveling from 4 hours away in heavy rain through traffic, notifying my hotel was the last thing on my mind. After getting the run around I was allowed to check in. The person checking me in actually rather rudely pointed to my cell phone and said, "You have a cell phone, you couldn't call?" The property itself is run down. It's not DIRTY like visible filth, more "worn". There was a strong odor of marijuana in my room and the hallway on the third floor. I had to have my room re-keyed because it stopped working. Doesn't sound like a big deal, but it's a hassle when youre parked in back and can't get in the door. No one ever came to clean my room during my stay or refresh linens. The "grab and go" breakfast is a few packets of instant oatmeal and a couple granola/cereal bars as well as coffee. Was it a HORRIBLE stay, nope. Was it subpar? yes. Will I ever return...no.

This is now my third time being at this property. I could stay at any hotel motel or no hotel but I have chosen to call this place home and all of these hard-working employees verge on being angelic. You are greeted with a smile. They will stop what they’re doing to help you regardless of how big or how small The “Customer comes first“ truly is forthright here. I keep extending my vacation, so I have more time here for peace, quietness, and a piece of a nervana. There is always a tear in my eye when I have to bid this professional and friendly salve for a while.

I would not recommend this for anyone
I got here a few hours ago hoping for a good nights sleep before a big move in the morning and the beds are horrible. Then I finally fell asleep and they start vacuuming in the hallway after midnight. How is anyone supposed to sleep in a hotel that does this?
