Liked: Cleanliness
The staff were friendly, helpful and pleasant.
The room was well cared for and clean.
Simple ways to ‘update’ the rooms some would be to reprint and add color to the information sheets on the wall board. Mine was very old and faded.
A list of eateries within walking distance, and the nearest grocery stores. Something that says ‘welcome’ and something that explains the cleaning room policies (I dont know that I should need to ask)
It’s those small items that seem to make the difference between this being ‘cheaper’ vs a good value
Thanks 😊
The only complaint that my husband and I have is that they do not service your room. The gentleman at the counter told us that they don’t clean the rooms for two weeks (we were there for a work trip and was there Thursday- Monday). If we wanted clean bedding or clean towels, we would have to bring the dirty items down and they would swap them out for clean ones. The chair in our room was also dirty and the leather on the chair was coming off. There was something sticky on the head board and it looked like the tv hadn’t been cleaned or dusted in months. The staff was friendly though and check in was easy.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff was friendly at front desk.
The first room we were given the toilet was running, and the leather chair was filthy and cracked and damaged. We went to the front desk and they did reassign us another room.
Bathroom floor was not clean and room a bit dated and dingy. We stayed for four nights housekeeping never came in to empty the garbage, give new towels or give us more coffee. There was only one on the counter when we arrived.

The room was clean. The staff was friendly. They did have a lot of fans running in the hallways. I don't know if they had a flood issue. It did not smell or anything like that.
Easy check in, big room with full kitchen and office area, convenient and plenty of parking

Good for an extended stay
The room was very comfortable and perfect for the type of stay that I had. Having laundry service available was very handy. However, the parking lot had a lot of garbage in it, and the lobby itself was very small and not very welcoming. But the room was perfect for my needs.
