Aside from the remodeling, workers and their girlfriends staying at the hotel, the scent of pot, overall the cleanliness was top notch and the staff was very friendly. Once the renovations are done, this will be a great place to stay.

Liked: Cleanliness
TV remote control was out of batteries. We could not watch TV and it was so noisy first night. Next day we have to switch our room. It was comfortable except toilet was clogged
This facility exceeded my expectations. Nice accommodations. Was greeted by front desk clerk very nicely. My room was ready and clean. Its appears room has been remodeled and was very nice. Room and linens were clean and amenities were plentiful. I highly recommend this facilty. Folks above me were noisy, sounded like someone drag racing on the street adjacent to the hotel but thats not their fault. To the franchise owner, keep up the good work.
The room wasn't ready when we got there and they were still doing some remodeling in the lobby, but the room was nice, clean, and newly remodeled. For the price you can't beat it!
