The rooms themselves are above average with great beds and linens, in-room fridges and all the things you'd expect. Again, very clean, very tidy. There's also a buffet breakfast and dinner that are available. Both were better than I would have expected. Biscuits and gravy, sausages, eggs, pancakes...all the good breakfast items. The dinners included taco night, bbq, pasta, and some others I'm struggling to remember. All the food was great and it was really convenient to be able to get those meals without leaving the hotel. Additionally there's a soda fountain machine and popcorn available in the lobby. Overall a pretty solid experience at a well run hotel. Would definitely stay here again.

Surprisingly, this hotel was not bad at all. There was ample parking, a lobby with free breakfast…read moreand computer center available if needed. We had the two queen suite. The tv was a nice size plus sofabed. I really like the desk and chair area too. There's tons of restaurants nearby. There is a pool, but for some reason, it felt like a sauna in there. It was already hot outside, I didn't want to be in a warm indoor pool. The only reason why I'm giving a rating of 3 stars is because of two complaints. The walls were too damn thin. We could hear the people next to us very clearly! Thankfully there wasn't anything intimate going on, but there was a party happening, and it was just too loud - not the music, it was the voices! We were in room 223, so thankfully we were near to the elevators. We didn't even hear when people were out by the elevators, but I could clearly hear the guests next to us. Secondly, the bathroom includes bath/shower products plus hand soap and lotion, which is a plus, because that's provided less thing to pack. However, the toilet was too low! My 70-year old mother and I are both 5'4. She recently had knee and hip surgery, so she decided to squat over the toilet. I sat but hurt my knees using the toilet. Thankfully, my husband didn't come. He's 6'4, he would have had a very hard time. They need to install bars next to the toilet. Also the tub floor was slippery - again, mother with recent hip and knee surgery... that was not good!

Let me start with we were part of a room block, most checking in on Friday…read more We booked 2 Queen Beds for 1 Saturday night which was required for a stay to play softball tournament. We had prrof of only one night being booked. Friday our card was charged. Saturday morning on our way there, we had two more charges pending. We got there Saturday after our softball tournament and they had sold our room out from under us. Only room they had for us was a King bed, with pullout couch, that they had marked as ubsellable because the TV wasn't working. After over 30 minutes, they said they would comp our room and we would have no charges. Fast forward to today (Tuesday after our stay), one charge has cleared(we paid) and two are still pending. Speaking to the manager was a shitshow, stating we had agreed to be charged for the night we weren't there? Why would we do that?! She then only wanted to give us a partial refund. After saying we were just going to call corporate, she changed her tune. Hotel was clean, beds were comfy, breakfast was decent. Customer service out weighs it all though. And we have been left disappointed.

For those of us who already lived through it, there is a reason this property has 2.5 stars on Expedia. Let me start by saying the staff are absolutely wonderful! No qualms there whatsoever. Super nice with down-to-earth hospitality. Literally couldn't ask for nicer people. As for the environment, if you're sensitive to odors, then this place is not for you. When you enter the hotel, the overwhelming smell of perfume hits you. It's as if someone used a whole bottle of Febreeze followed by an entire bottle of your grandma's favorite Body Fantasy spray and sprayed it directly into your face. Check-in was a breeze, and instructions to find my room were easy to follow. After you check in and begin walking to your room, the odors at the front desk dissipate only to be replaced with the strong smell of weak weed. As if people have been puff-passing in the hallway every day for decades. This isn't a deal breaker for most people, but this is a hotel. The way the damp smell seems to cling to the carpet and walls is depressing. When you reach your room, you open the door, and immediately start coughing. Smoking indoors in public and private businesses was made illegal sometime around 2006. This room smells like mildew and cigarette ash have always existed here. As if people still smoke in here. The room looks as if it was carefully thrown together. Like good, clutter free, clean, and the AC unit was already humming. The beds themselves are not restful in the least. I appreciate a good, firm mattress, but these mattresses are like rocks. I slept seven hours straight, but woke up incredibly sore and feeling more tired than when I fell asleep! Lastly, there is a bathroom. I generally have no qualms about the bathroom. The tub is fat kid friendly (250+ club here.) The bathroom is clean and odor free. The water is nice and hot. There are VERY basic amenities. There are small signs of wear and tear on the bathtub seam and the back of the toilet which need some attention, but nothing serious. Being able to convalesce my sore muscles in the tub has been lovely. The heat lampnis the ceiling and hair dryer on the wall take me back in the best way. There's no fan, though, which helps explain the mildew smell. Breakfast is from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. If there is anything other than your standard, run-of-the-mill continental breakfast here, then I will update this post. Edit to add: I did not expect a full, hot breakfast! It's pretty decent, and it looks like it's prepared with a lot of care. Thank you! I'm adding a star. A second perk of this hotel is that it is walking distance to The Hideout, which overall is a great place to eat. I do love the plants placed throughout the hotel. Implementing a lot more of these live plants will help clean the air. For any managers who read these posts, here are my recommendations on how to improve. 1. Remove as many fabrics as you can immediately and replace them with objects that do not absorb odors. For example, remove all of the carpet and install vinyl laminate planks or some similar hard flooring, like tile. Replace any curtains. They're genuinely ruined. 2. Repaint all the walls to help get rid of the smell. 3. Add mattress covers and mattress protectors to all of your mattresses. Replace the bedding or find a way to clean the smell out of it without using perfumes. I have had a lot of success using All free and clear with Lysol Laundry sanitizer. 4. Institute and STRONGLY enforce rules such as no smoking and no more than two adults under the age of 25. This will prevent the parties, decrease insurance costs, and decrease the damage. 5. Give your people a raise. I don't know what they make, but I know it isn't enough to compensate for rude customers and working indoors in smokey halls all day.

They painted around a mirror but couldn't even take it down first. The TV used to be on the wall but now on the table but just left the mount on the wall. This looked like they cobbled a trashed room together for graduation weekend and didn't care a bit. good luck finding parking later at night, construction vehicles taking the spots. luckily someone was leaving just as we got in not sure where they parked when they got back. Worst of all bedbugs. wish we would have slept in the car. We called for a refund but of course they said "our rooms are clear, we take precautions", yeah right.

To my surprise, they told me where to find it. 1st room...237 Nice king bed. I tipped the sofa over while trying to pull out the sofa bed! Sofa bed had black spots and had several tears. Lamp shades were stained and torn. Microwave was dirty. I didn't bother going in the bathroom. I complained and was switched to another room. 2nd room...213 Nice king bed. Bathroom was okay. Sofa bed stained and worn out. Sofa pillows are filthy. Ceiling and smoke detector stained from water leak. Furniture falling apart. Floors dirty (especially underneath the sofa bed). Walls dirty. Lamp shades ripped. For some odd reason, there is what appeared to be a door sensor above the room door. So, I covered it up (Pics attached). The lady at the front desk seems like she is tired of the complaints (which would make sense because a guest that checked in after me was complaining when I went back to the desk to complain. They are adding new showers, so there are boxes in the lobby area. This hotel made me excited to wake up at 4am to get back on the road, when the plan was to leave a 7am.

The breakfast was better than average and well stocked even at 8:30 AM. Our room was extremely clean and the sheets were new and pleasant to sleep on. All this in spite of reading all the negative reviews! And we arrived after 9 PM, when all the good rooms are usually taken. The marquee's sign said the hotel had been recently refurbished, making me suspect that the update took place over time and some rooms were still in bad shape up until recently. As far as Quality Inns go (across the nation over the last three decades) this location was in the top percentile.
