The gal that check us un was hugh on some type of upper/speed. Our room was pretty clean, but the floors could have been done better. The tile needed swept. I'm guessing from whatever the vacuum missed. I will say, I've never seen a hotel offer a kitchen but not have a single item stocked in it (no silverware, dish, pan anything).

Everything was very clean. I loved that the refrigerator and microwave were full sized. I like to have milk and juice available, it’s hard to keep in a small mini fridge. The bed was very comfortable. There was a conveniently located elevator so no stairs to climb. Overall a great experience!!

Christy at the front desk was not pleasant. Computers were down, she complained how tied she was, been their since 6:30...... Our room keys did not work and she was no where to be found. I called the number, no one answered, I rang the bell, no answer, I knocked on the door looked outside. Unable to find her. She finally came back from the back of the building and smelled overwhelming of cigarette smoke. She did not greet us or welcome us. The room was good. Bad service.
