There was definitely room for improvement. The room was extremely humid making the bedding damp. The bedding itself was ripped and what appeared to be melted around the edges of the mattress cover? The mattress was worn down and uncomfortable and the pillows needed to be replaced. It didn't appear the carpet had been vacuumed in some time. It was also difficult to find anyone when we needed to ask for a towel and the TV remote didn't work. On the upside, it was a relatively quiet stay and no one bothered us during our brief stay.

Location was great for our weekend activities in Newton. Room was better than expected... comfortable beds, clean and functional bathroom fixtures, AC and refrigerator were ice cold. Free breakfast was a bonus. Will stay here again.

The hallways were blowing heat. It was 90 degrees outside. It was an unpleasant walk to the room. Headboards on the bed were very dirty. I don’t think they wash them

The hotel was clean. It looks like some renovation had been made and others still either in progress or needed to be made. The staff was very friendly. Mattresses in the 2 rooms we had weren't great. Breakfast had eggs, sausage biscuits and gravy. You could make waffles or toast. There were a few cold cereal options.

Room was clean and quiet. Wished we would have had a few more towels and thicker, but we did just fine. I would definitely stay there again. I was disappointed that the clerk couldn't give me an update on my points. Just said, check your computer

Room and bathroom was dirty. The room had some “hardware” left in the wall for a mirror that used to be there, which was a sight for sore eyes.
