I absolutely love this place! Roomsand lobby are kept clean. Staff are very friendly and very helpful. Security is amazing. Also the best prices in town.
Parking was great. Very pet friendly. Staff was very polite, efficient, courteous. Property could use some small cosmetic repairs but overall nice property
Overall we had a good stay. The hotel does not have a breakfast option and the lobby area is fairly sparse, but the rooms were quite nice and the beds were very comfortable.

The front desk was very helpful. I'm so sorry that I forgot her name but she went out of the way to make sure I was able to check in early. As far as the upkeep of the hotel -- it needs some major remodeling.
We have been using this hotel for many years. The rooms are always clean and the staff helpful.
It is still a little strange checking in to a kiosk. No one really at the desk. Have to call the attendant or see a staff member.
My room and bathroom were clean, even though there were a few worn spots on the night stand. The bed was comfortable and sheets clean. The sitting area was nice and I appreciated the long desk as I was there on a work trip. LOVED the window seat!
For the first time, I checked in the vestibule with a live attendant on a check-in screen machine. The process was fine, just different.
We were in town for a wedding and only stayed one night. The check in was quick and the people were friendly. The elevator was a bit clunky, but the room was clean. We didn't notice any weird or unusual odors. The beds were comfortable. It served us well and we would stay again.

We had a Junior Queen Suite. Large room with couch, plenty of storage.
Not so good: Bed sagged in middle and mattress was not very comfortable. In addition, party next door left their TV on ALL Night - some talk show apparently. Initially we thought 2 people were talking late into the night, but we woke up a few times hearing the same noise. By the time we realized what was going on, the night was over. Four days later, I find that the hotel charged us $4.64, even though we had prepaid the room through Expedia. Have no idea what that was for, because we didn't order or charge anything. We won't stay there again.
This was a very nice place, clean and comfortable. The virtual check-in process was a little weird but it actually worked fine and probably is more efficient for the company. But I wasn’t sure if it would have been easy to connect with an employee if there was a problem.
The building is old. There was nobody at the desk when we arrived at night. The check-in was done entirely in virtual (Zoom/Teams style video call).
It took a couple of tryout to have the cards assigned to our room. But, look, for the price, that was okay. The lady in video chat was very nice. The room itself was clean. So, if you just need a room to sleep, that is more than okay for the price.

Disliked: Amenities
The property/inn was adequate for what we needed. The room was clean and we felt safe. The virtual check in kiosk was cumbersome to use and I missed having staff to assist. The ice machine was either empty or not working. The hallway had a broken kid’s necklace on the floor that was there the entire time we were there so I know it wasn’t vacuumed. And unfortunately police were present for problems in the parking lot three times which left uncomfortable. For the price I expected more.
Hotel was a little on the dated side but not in a bad way. It was clean, and well cared for. Quiet and no concerns about safety or issues on the property. As I said it was a bit dated, and some things wear more worn than others, but it felt more like coming home. Tons of hot water and friendly faces.
