I stay a couple times times a month and the staff is what keeps me coming back. They are personable and always willing to go above and beyond if they can. If I have a problem with something in the room, they are quick to fix it. The hotel my not be in the best area or be the fanciest around but when it comes down to it I would rather have good people around me that I know are gonna take care of me and my needs. It’s clean and comfortable. Thanks for making my stay comfortable.

We need 2 beds to sleep on, that's it. We were surprised by the extra space with a sitting area and TV away from the beds so we could sit and watch our takeout while watching TV. It was nice!
The location wasn't convenient for us, and the building was a little rundown

Garbage truck came about 530am and I had trouble getting back to sleep from all the noise it made doing it’s work ,if my room was in front of the building it might have been better I was in 307

The room and price of it were perfect
The location of it, the guests hanging out in parking lot all night, there was no breakfast food available say 8am. I also had my debit card either stolen or I dropped it and someone picked it up for themselves.
