Nice clean bed and room, a little dated. Latch on door was broken, I put the chair against the door. deadbolt to other room did not close all the way. Large comfortable room. Simple toiletries but great for what I needed. AC needed to be turned down to work but eventually did get comfortable. Great for the price and for what I needed.

No human to check you in and only 1 washer with 1 dryer. Also a crazy woman outside on our third night screaming so the police were here. That said the room was comfortable and clean.

Overall we had a good stay. The hotel does not have a breakfast option and the lobby area is fairly sparse, but the rooms were quite nice and the beds were very comfortable.

The front desk was very helpful. I'm so sorry that I forgot her name but she went out of the way to make sure I was able to check in early. As far as the upkeep of the hotel -- it needs some major remodeling.

We have been using this hotel for many years. The rooms are always clean and the staff helpful. It is still a little strange checking in to a kiosk. No one really at the desk. Have to call the attendant or see a staff member.

We were in town for a wedding and only stayed one night. The check in was quick and the people were friendly. The elevator was a bit clunky, but the room was clean. We didn't notice any weird or unusual odors. The beds were comfortable. It served us well and we would stay again.

My room and bathroom were clean, even though there were a few worn spots on the night stand. The bed was comfortable and sheets clean. The sitting area was nice and I appreciated the long desk as I was there on a work trip. LOVED the window seat! For the first time, I checked in the vestibule with a live attendant on a check-in screen machine. The process was fine, just different.

This was a very nice place, clean and comfortable. The virtual check-in process was a little weird but it actually worked fine and probably is more efficient for the company. But I wasn’t sure if it would have been easy to connect with an employee if there was a problem.

Overall a clean, nice stay but nothing special. My primary complaints were that the room smelled very musty when I first walked in. I got used to it and so could live with it. The other issue is that that receiver box for the TV is located BEHIND the TV. Which means that remotes don't work when you point it AT the TV. You have to lean AROUND THE SIDE for the receiver to pick up the signal from the remote, making something like changing the channel a challenge. But the staff was nice and the hotel is centrally located so you can walk to the restaraunts and pubs. Definitely take the walk and check out Moondog Lounge. Great live music!

8/10 Very good

The building is old. There was nobody at the desk when we arrived at night. The check-in was done entirely in virtual (Zoom/Teams style video call). It took a couple of tryout to have the cards assigned to our room. But, look, for the price, that was okay. The lady in video chat was very nice. The room itself was clean. So, if you just need a room to sleep, that is more than okay for the price.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The property/inn was adequate for what we needed. The room was clean and we felt safe. The virtual check in kiosk was cumbersome to use and I missed having staff to assist. The ice machine was either empty or not working. The hallway had a broken kid’s necklace on the floor that was there the entire time we were there so I know it wasn’t vacuumed. And unfortunately police were present for problems in the parking lot three times which left uncomfortable. For the price I expected more.

Hotel was a little on the dated side but not in a bad way. It was clean, and well cared for. Quiet and no concerns about safety or issues on the property. As I said it was a bit dated, and some things wear more worn than others, but it felt more like coming home. Tons of hot water and friendly faces.
