This is the first time that there was an issue with our booking and it required an actual credit card for incidentals. Our debit card has always been sufficient and thankfully we were traveling with someone willing to use theirs or we would have been out in the cold. Otherwise the property was fine and our stay fit our needs.

The staff at front desk was about the only plus to this property. It’s run down and grungy. I wouldn’t say dirty but just outdated and needs major overhaul with scrubbing walls and updating everything. Our entire side of the 3rd floor smelled like cigarette smoke. I didn’t see much other than our room because it was a quick stop and sleep then leave bright and early. It was decent enough to sleep at but not much else.

Overall great property, I did run into some issues. I would not recommend staying on first floor children running and thumping and jumping over head all night. Kids will be kids. I would also recommend that the bathrooms be extra checked the toilet was not properly cleaned on inside and outside, also the tables, counters, fridge and headboards need to checked for cleaning as well. Dusting around light post and lamps should also be checked. For the most part appearance clean and well kept up hotel, definitely 4 stars. Main issue was the bathroom toilet.

While we were only here a short while to get some sleep on a longer trip, the hotel was a little outdated and the breakfast was not suitable for our large group. It was just a small counter of easy grab and go items. We were hoping for more before we got on the road. The sheets on the bed were light and didn't supply much warmth.

Overall a good experience. Our pets were welcomed. Latasha checked us in and got us in a ground floor room near an entrance. We needed an unavoidable late check out. There was some confusion and it doesn't seem the staff has any control over the charges which was confusing and worrisome. Otherwise no complaints
