The staff was very nice and friendly. The only negatives were the lack of an elevator and the dirty carpets in the hallway, but breakfast was good. The hotel is near a shopping center, stores, and restaurants.

The staff was either unfriendly or stressed when we checked in. The pool was unavailable, so we were given a pass to go to another pool in the area, and although that was nice, it was iinconvenient. Breakfast time ends at 9, and all other places we have traveled have been 9:30 or 10, so we didnt eat..

Very small bathroom and the carpet was not clean especially in the hall and on the stairs. FYI there isn’t an elevator. The check in person was great! Room was as clean as it could be since it was an older hotel. Love the area and the price
