Find somewhere else!
The curtains were stained, the paint is peeling, the room was old and gross. The people were nice, but the room and stay left a lot to be desired. I will not return.

The a/c unit sounded like an airplane landing, so load, heard when taking a shower. If we had arrived earlier than 11pm, I would have asked to be moved to a new room. The second room was by the stairwell, and closing door from any of the floors was heard as well throughout the night. For the breakfast, waffle batter, no waffle maker, mini fridge for pitchers of beverages, but those ran out by 7:45, except milk.

When we arrived at our room the door was being held open..entered carefully and the beds were not complete. Got the person on the front desk he offered to give us pillow cases …is that not your job? There was no blow dryer …called the front desk for 2 hours and continually busy..it was not an emergency but what if you need help. The food at breakfast was disgusting…didn’t eat and left

Room was nice and staff were friendly. However it was advertised as having a breakfast, but there was pretty much nothing there except bread and biscuits and gravy. Waffle machine had no supplies, no eggs or bacon in hot serving tray, juice machine broken, no fruit. Worst breakfast buffet I’ve seen.
