    Had confirmed reservation for Jr suite and notified hotel ahead we would be late arrival. Upon arrival told they didn't have Jr suite and put us in a double queen, told Jr suite was overlooked. Was charged for Jr suite at desk and had to go back to desk and complain for them to refund difference in price. Very tiny shower stall.

    The room was not clean; a used syringe was in the freezer! Blood was streaked across the edge of the roll of toilet paper (no toilet paper roll holder). Loud throughout the night from other residents. Smelled of smoke.

    Location was nice... a mile from downtown. Bed was comfortable. Linens smelled/seemed clean. Both the night and morning reception workers were very pleasant/accomodating.

    As soon as we stepped out for a walk to view the town, 5 ft from the hotel door, a bum was trying to sell us junk trinket jeweler. We sad no then he tried to sell some watches. Most of the busyness they closed including gas stations and party stores @ 7 pm. They kept the hotel doors locked and had to open they so you could get back in. I my option the hotel was only a 2 ** PLACE. The people running the place were verry polite, nicely dressed, and helpful carrying the luggage up to the 3dr floor.

    There is no plug for the cable box. Therefore no TV I mentioned to the desk twice and they told me somebody was coming up to fix it. They never did. So room 211 still as no  working tv. If you want a front row seat to watch your local homeless people do their drugs shoot up their heroin smoke their crack they set on it’s electrical box just right there on the property at the back so if that’s what you’re looking for that’s the place to go. Solution if I was management, I would have a fence all the way around the parking lot. That way all the homeless are not scoping out what they can take from your ride. knowing that you’re probably not gonna get a very good nights sleep at least I didn’t cause every time I got to thinking or I heard somebody yelling outside. I jump up and look out the window. Make sure they not messing up my ride. I would not say this is hotels fault It would be the cops and the city The police will drive by and I know they see them guys will sit right there with there Drugs in the open and the cops Don’t do nothing about it. I only stayed one night and I can point out the pushers it only took me 15 min to spot the fist dealer!

    Very noisy, room was right next to the major thoroughfare highway. Bed was really hard. Huge drug and homeless issues around there, watched drug deals happen in the back parkinglot.

    The price and the location weren't bad, room had it's own heat and AC, plus they had a free shuttle to the airport

    The place in general is very dirty in a bad location, my room was “clean” with strong smell like bleach which I didn’t like not option to open the small window. Bed uncomfortable and the shower very small.

    The ladies at the front desk were very nice and help me with my suitcase also gave some water.

    The hotel generally wasn’t very clean. The free airport shuttle is a bit hit and miss - even though we had booked it we were told it may not happen.

    The bed was really clean and comfy and the shower was good.

    The room was dirty (paint peeling, disgusting air conditioner etc.). There was a heroin needle in the parking lot, and was overall a sketchy vibe.

    The bed was comfy, location was convenient to airport.
