We've been to this location probably once a month for a few years. This last stay we booked in advance and the day before we arrived paresh the general manager modified the stay without calling us. They switched our room from the king one bedroom suite to a double queen. The front desk had no knowledge of the modification. When we got to the room it was dirty and there was a pizza box left in the refrigerator. It took paresh till Saturday afternoon to call me. He actually acted as though he didn't care. I will never stay at this place again. I will say the only person that acted as though the genuinely cared was Kasey at the front desk. As for paresh he doesn't deserve to be a general manager

Same price as a normal hotel room but you get a kitchen and free guest laundry. Food is within aalking distance and plenty of parking. Four miles from the historic district. I enjoyed my stay. Im on the road about 270 days a year so this location hits all the bells for me.

The room was mostly clean but there was leftover food in the fridge which concerned me a lot. It made me anxious about how clean the rest of the room really was or if it was all appearance wise only. Everything else was great with the stay.
