Stafford, extremely nice and the hotel itself is clean and decently maintained. My only complaint would be. I don’t see any mechanism to tell people if you don’t want the staff to come in your room during the day to clean. Normally you have something to hang on your door or you can request it. I was confused. Nowadays, most hotels only will go in your room if you request it. I didn’t see anything missing, but they emptied my trash every day that I was there for three days in a row. If this is something you don’t like make sure you say something at the front desk. I’m not even sure if it won’t matter. I do recommend a hotel. The only other thing is where they say they have coffee in the morning. This is kind of deceiving. In reality, it is a machine and it uses either a syrup or powder to make your coffee. It doesn’t taste horrible, but it ain’t real coffee. They were very nice to me and after hours had no issue turning the machine on for me to get hot water. Typically, I bring my own kettle.

We had reserved a non-smoker room and they gave us a room that was obviously used by a smoker and we couldn’t sleep the first night. We had a terrible headache. I went to the office and told them we needed to change rooms for the above mentioned reason, and the gentleman was very accountable and said that he was sorry and gave us a second room that wasn’t much better shape for us.

The place was extremely noisy due to the people staying in a downstairs room. They had their door open and yelling and smoking weed. There is no kitchen or dinette, just a small fridge which was not even on or barely working, and a microwave on top of it. There's no closet, just a place with 5 hangers. No shampoo or conditioner, no ironing board or iron. It's a cheap place, but it could at least provide some amenities to the visitors staying. Parking is terrible if your not there by 7pm
