Summary: Entrance and lobby set the tone. Boxes. Junk where the computer and brochures are. Trash bins heaped full at the entrance to the hallways, stinks. Room smells of mildew. Disappointing. Landscaping over grown with weeds, how would you expect the interior any better?
Only good thing is the room rate and the air conditioning and heater worked! Breakfast was with out bananas and only two old cuties that no one took. No silverware, they need an attendant to wipe off tables.

Summary: Management was friendly recognized me by name and readily responded to any requests or concerns. The property did need some updates. First night stay was very full so room I was in had major water damage that had yet to be repaired and room updates. They needed to come update the cable box so TV could be watched

Summary: Room was spacious and clean. Hallways had a distinct unpleasant smell. Check in was friendly and efficient. We would stay here again.

Summary: Staff were friendly, everything worked as it should, but things were not clean. The air conditioning unit had things growing in it, cigarette butts in the windowsill, and floors that left your feet black (the hotel room flooring is all vinyl). A dog was barking thought the hotel for most hours of the night. I did enjoy the plantings around the property.

Summary: Breakfast was gross. No elevator. Loud hallways. No shampoo or conditioner.
It was one step up from staying in a car.

Summary: Spacious room. Comfortable beds. Needed housekeeping to supply a stopper for the bathtub. For some reason, the door key/cards needed to be renewed more than once over the course of five days. Fortunately the manager was always at the desk to take care of the problem. All in all, it was a good place to stay.

Summary: Room was fine, plenty of towels. The AC was set correctly but it didn’t come on all night. Around 8:30am it finally kicked on. Bed was average but not amazing. Breakfast had waffles, biscuits and gravy, and sausage patties, plus other cold stuff.

Summary: I was put into a room with a drapery that I could not close. The television had been broken.
I requested a move to another room and got it.
The coffee at breakfast was so strong that I choked on it.
