The room was clean and newly renovated. However the room smelled of stale cigarette smoke. I sleep with a C-Pap so I had filtered air while I slept. I did tell the staff and requested that the bedding be changed-since that smelled too. They changed it immediately. Still I won't be staying here again.

Parking by the room, clean room, comfortable beds, and modern amenities. We enjoyed all aspects but a couple things could make the experience better. First off, the curtains are too small for the window and there is a light that is on almost all night outside the room. So the room does not get dark. Second you do hear everything. I feel that a few washable area rugs in each room could help deaden the sound of other guests. The noise could also be helped by room darkening and sound deadening curtains. The road traffic is another thing to consider if you are a light sleeper - I forgot my ear plugs this time but will definitely remember them next time. Overall though a great stay and was perfect for us.

Would stay again. Only complaints are the “vanity” wood door covering the mini frig was so tight I could not open it. They need to put blackout shades in the rooms. The outside security lights are very bright. The other option would be to provide sleep masks ! Otherwise very comfortable and staff were helpful.

Recently updated rooms that looked very nice! Floors need mopping for sure! Seals around doors need corrected. We had a ground floor room that opened to the outside like an old motel would. I liked to proximity to the car etc BUT you could clearly see daylight under the door and pretty much any rodent or snake could walk or slither right in. Also need to add more curtain panels because the ones there weren’t large enough to cover to windows when shut.
