The good, the mediocre, and no ugly.

I have enjoyed staying there the last 5 times that I have stayed. The staff is great. The breakfast, as well as their happy hour are both great. My room wasn’t serviced until 4:00 one day, and wasn’t serviced at all the next day. If you want to tip, either bring change, or put it on your card, or room. Be aware that you have to make additional fee for parking on property.

The customer service at this hotel was top notch all around. The staff at check in were friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was good and well prepared. The location was convenient for our daughter's dorm move in. It was a safe, well lit area. The bed was comfortable. The shower is an old bathtub/shower combo. I would like to see those renovated. The carpet needed to be vacuumed before and during our stay. Other than that, no complaints. I would stay here again.

The bathroom had a poorly working shower valve and diverter, the toilet was running and the area around the tub was dirty. Additionally, the AC wasn’t operating properly. At 68F it should have been much colder in the room and it wasn’t. Felt humid. There was only one staff member at check in. Unlikely that I would stay again.
