This hotel was nice for a two night stay. The front desk staff was very nice, and we appreciated the cookies and water at check-in. Everything we needed was there. Convenient location. We have stayed here several times, and it meets our needs. Nothing fancy, but clean and functional.

Shannon, Excelsior

I stayed here in September 2025 and everything was great minus the elevator breaking down. This time I was initially put in a room that someone was already in. When I opened the door the tv was on and stuff was all over. I then was put in an accessible room that had a strong paint smell. I wasn’t in the room that much so it was tolerable, but not sure I would stay here again.

First off they fully charged my credit card before I arrived without my permission, (It was reservation purpose only ,, per Expedia). Then they charged a $150 security deposit!! Tv randomly changed channels,, the a/c never kept set temp. Watch out for large pothole in entrance to parking lot. Will never return and plan on boycotting ALL comfort Inns.
