We stayed at this hotel on two separate occasions.
Our first experience was on the positive side. We stayed in a room in the newer addition where you have to cross the outdoor rooftop patio area from the main part of the hotel. That room was pretty good. Everything looked pretty new and clean. Bed was comfortable and had both soft and firm pillow options. AC worked well.
After our positive experiences, we booked another stay here couple weeks later. We got placed in an upgraded room in the main part of the hotel building. This room was honestly terrible. There were stains all over the walls. We found several bugs crawling around on the floor. The shower was all scratched with a ton of marks on the shower floor and there was a huge hair ball which was disgusting. The mirror in the bathroom was also peeling off… At least the bed was fine and we didn’t see any bed bugs.

I can't remember the last time I slept on a squeaky bed until last night, and it was not comfortable either. The staff were nice, but I will find something else on my next trip.

This hotel was just perfect for a business trip. Great rooms, great accommodations and amenities, a delicious continental breakfast, good parking, and close to do many nice and convenient places. Even if not for business, this would be a perfect place for a little getaway with a nail salon, a massage salon, and great food nearby. And guess what, they allow dogs! 10/10

It is a good place to sleep and rest. The man at the front desk was great in solving a check in problem at 200 am on 10-17-25, he had to fix an issue after something went wrong while speaking with a woman on the phone at 944 am on 10-16-25. The carpets in the hallway were old. The TV in the room was small, a 21 inch I think. And worst of all is the parking, only 2 handicap, all the spots were for small cars, and people were parked crooked, making it impossible to fit a car, probably parked that way due to such small spots. Poorly designed parking.
