The staff are great. Friendly and helpful but this property did not measure up to the listing on Expedia at all. No bathroom light fixture-- a bare bulb. Bathroom in general has very poorly done repairs. Common areas not clean--especially laundry. Room missing the living room chair. Key cards never work-10-15 times to open the door. I did not stay the second night. Checked out after one night and went somewhere else. I will never stay with this chain again. They did not use photos from this property for their listing on Expedia.

I booked for 5 adults and they gave me a room with 2 queen beds. One adult didn’t have a sofa bed. We had to book another room. That would’ve a problem if we knew In advance. As a surprise, not good.

Standard, budget hotel. Has a kitchenette with full size refrigerator, dishwasher, sink, microwave and 2 burner stove. No housekeeping only if you have a 7 day stay. You can request towels by placing a door hanger before 9am but it didnt get us clean towels so we had to go to the front desk. Rooms could use a deep cleaning, I dont think the housekeeping staff can do that if they are only coming in once a week. This reservation was better than the last one (cleanliness). Staff at front desk is always courteous.
