Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was adequate (clean and comfortable) but I definitely paid more than I should have for this property. The upstairs hallway smelled like marijuana, the shower was cracked and the staff barely spoke to me. I did not take advantage of the breakfast, so I cannot comment on that. I would not book with this hotel again.

This was a very nice hotel for me. I liked its location, amenities, and staff service. The hotel was well lit and clean. My room had all the needed amenities that functioned well. The bathroom was clean and the shower functioned properly. The complimentary breakfast was good. They served eggs, sausage, biscuit and gravy, cereals, coffee, juices, fruits, etc. They had a fitness room and an indoor swimming pool. They also had a water fountain, a restaurant attached to the hotel and a nice lobby area. The staff members were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay here.
