Single women traveling from out of town should be offred a room in the main building. I was in room on the end and outside. i was aproached by many people just walking by my door. the heat register did not shut off and the air conditioning did not work. the room was hot, the windows were painted shut and the door to my room was on the main drag. I could not leave my door open for air, due to safety reasons, and temperature regulation in the room was impossible.

Okay stay.

The room was small but clean. It was a little sketchy with a window that had been duct taped previously, but untaped. It would not close all the way. We heard someone yelling outside the room threatening to beat someone up. The check-in was okay. Someone (not us) had cancelled our reservation, even though I had secured it with our card. Luckily they had a room available. The person who checked us in was very nice and sweet. She was very helpful. The lobby area was nice. The breakfast the next morning offered waffles, cereal, yogurt, and I believe pastries. It was standard and okay.

The shuttle was quick from airport to inn. We got checked in quickly. However, we got to our room around midnight. The room was very small. The bathroom very small. The shower very small. We finally got to bed around 1 am only to have the smoke alarm battery died at started beeping at 5 am!!! Complained at the front desk and they didn’t offer to do anything. Also we got down to breakfast at 7am (started at 6) and there was basically nothing left. They did eventually restock but it was all carbs. No protein, no yogurt etc. unfortunately for the price we paid I would not recommend

I love the fact that this hotel was about five minutes from the airport. I love the fact that we had food options in walking distance. The hotel started serving breakfast at 5 AM or 5:30 AM which was wonderful because we were up and ready to eat, and the staff was very, very friendly. I would definitely stay here again.
