Very nice room with unexpected extras, staff was very welcoming, & personable. Very BIG Plus in my book the room was clean, parking wasn't a problem or hassel @ all & very accessable. Seemed 2 have everything that we needed, or wanted. Very accessable 2 the airport, & I think everything in the room worked & was up 2 par. Again the staff was amazing and so nice.
Room was clean, friendly service. Fridge works great, hot water that lasts, air condintioner is nice and cold and plenty of towles. There are age related issues but all in all I'm pleased and comfortable.
The price for weekly rates are high $281.16. rooms are clean no bugs ! Jay one of the Auditors are very very nice goes out of his way to help each and every one of his guests! That's unusual anymore!
The only thing that was not broken was the the TV that is using coax cable on analog signal and I haven't got any service per day
Me and my honey are staying here now and Let me tell you I don't understand all the bad reviews We got a really good room and The folks that run the place are really nice Don't believe everything you read And they have a great cable network
All in all its actually a pretty decent hotel and you're in walking distance of quite a few places to eat
Appearance wise it seems a bit outdated, however the rooms were clean as well as the parking lot. The ppl staying there that were out and about seemed nice enough. They have a pool, but it was already closed for the season with a pool cover over it. Looked to be a decent size though.
Don't have any problems staying here. They are sweet people who have treated me with nothing but respect. The maintenance man on the other hand should be fired.My room is decent the cleaning ladies are all sweet. I'll be here until I find something better but for now it's home.
