Staff were friendly, rate on Booking.com was very good. Based on the rate, I expected a pretty average hotel, but the room, including the bathroon, was surprisingly clean. Everything seemed to be in good working order. Plenty of channel selections on TV, and even multiple shower head settings (not the low quality, unmoveable shower heads often in chain motels). You could actually get full on the breakfast, all in all a good value.

Nothing, I did not explore what amenities there were outside the room, as I wasn't here for long.

Front desk staff (Vijy? Name was something like that) was very gracious, friendly, and efficient. Room was large and clean. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast had good options, not just muffins or something. Price was better than others in the area, and I'm glad I didn't stay elsewhere and spend more. There was no need to.

Nothing. Everything was good.

The breakfast was very good. Having a sofa in the room was great.

The door was very sticky and we had to push very hard to open it. We needed help the first time, thought it would not open, even though we got the green light. Also, one must go outside and back in to get to breakfast. Weather was good now, but this would not be good in bad weather.

Very clean and comfortable. Very good overall experience, breakfast was much better than the usual fare. Staff was pleasant and helpful.

The floor lamp was shut off so when I entered the main switch light wasn’t working and it took a couple of minutes to find my way into the dark room. The room heater was slow to warm the room, didn’t seem like it was working efficiently. The lamp shade had a big whammy on it and should be replaced. Otherwise, the room was very clean and it appeared to have been recently updated.

The staff is nice. It is actually pretty quiet there. The room and bathroom were clean. I like having coffee in the room that I can make. The food is decent and there are several choices of food. Overall, it is a decent, nice place to stay that is reasonably priced.

Nothing that I can really think of.

Bed was super comfortable. Room is large. I like the desk and chair and tv.

I do not like the fact that every day they are using lots of disposable dishes and plastic cutlery. So a LOT of styrofoam and plastic are going inot the landfill every day. Environmentally, not sound.

Comfortable beds and hot breakfast 😋

I tried to check in early and the staff. Wanted to charge me $25 extra. That has never happened before at this location, Needless to say, I left and came back a few hours later to check in. I don't know what difference it makes what time we check in as long as the room is ready and I'm there to check in. I've already reserved the room. What difference does it make? What time I check in? And why should I be charged extra?

The price was great, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

The person at the desk the evening we checked in could barely speak English My husband couldn't understand him at all. Also, we had the complimentary breakfast at 8am the next morning , the eggs, potatoes and sausage were cold.

Loved the bed and the being able to book with debitcard not a credit card. Also really liked that housekeeping wasn't knocking on our door before or right at check out. Good to not feel pushed out the door.

Didn't like the bathtub/shower. It's weirdly shaped the oversized shelves and low shower head make showering awkward, the bottom is also slick hardnto keep from slipping. Their was a rather large cobweb In the corner of the room made us wonder how long it at been there was so big. Also there were 2 of us and we got one of each towel..would have been good to have more towels luckily I'm one of those that pack extra towels. Even when "the hotel will have them" is a thought.
