"Loved it for just one night. I think they must get busy because I called and was put on hold for 7 minutes the night I stayed which is a good and bad thing at once, LOL. I absolutely loved this place! I will be back!It was just perfect."
"We stayed July 24-26. Was very convenient to get to where we were going. Very nice hotel. Great breakfast, the waffles were my favorite. Bed was very comfy. The only issue we had was when we were packing up. Had to make two trips. I had the Do Not Disturb was on the door and when we got back to room to get the rest of our stuff the door was wide open. I didnt think that was good. Our stuff still on the bed. How did she know we were coming back up right away? A do not disturb to me means dont go...
"This location was just ok, it was decent but not exceptional the way it was described in prior reviews. It’s very old and not as clean as anticipated but the staff was very nice and it was conveniently close to the airport."
"The location was good and the staff were really friendly but the carpet in the room felt like a damp sponge. This wasn’t just in one spot, it was the entire carpet. The room smelt musky as well. For that reason I would not return and would not recommend staying at this hotel."
