This hotel fit our needs perfectly. We were travelling from Canada to Florida, and this was on the way. We were travelling with our two dogs. They were very accommodating with them coming in. The beds were super comfortable. Sheets were very very clean had nice hot coffee upon arrival. The only down point is the bathroom was a little outdated tiles were a little loose chair in our room look like it has been scratched up by a cat But other than that, the price fit the bill I would stay here again …

Bed was sort of made, pillows scrunched like someone slept on them, bed wasn’t fully made inclining me to pull back covers and sheets had hair and what looked like crumbs in it. Front desk staff didn’t even question my request for new room. Just made key and said sorry. Not sure if that meant a frequent occurrence?

The building exterior and grounds were very nice. The lobby was welcoming. Our room had dark colored carpet with a few stains, the bathtub had a big rust looking spot in the middle of the tub. Some of the grout on the tub was missing and can lead to bigger issues with water damage! This to me is careless. Maybe housekeeping staff should write down the room issues and give it to maintenance for repair/replacement. People have to take ownership of their jobs and will be a win-win for everyone! Management needs to loosen the purse strings and provide the funding needed to maintain the hotel. The pull out sofa was uncomfortable and squeaked when you sat down on it. The mattresses on the bed need to be replaced but was adequate. The pillows were good and had a couple of choices for the guests comfort. I had complained about the rust spot at the front desk, and while we were out for the day, housekeeping came in and scrubbed it, and may have been painted with enamel spray (?) since 98% of the spot was gone! The staff did mention that the rooms were being refurbished; I believe that was the word? I was surprised there was a hot breakfast since I thought the description said "continental." I don't mean to be negative, but it was just "ok". The sausage was too greasy and needed something to soak up some of the grease. The thin, round eggs needed to be a bit thicker. This can be solved by pouring more of the yolk mixture into the mold. A well maintained hotel should be #1!

The reason for the bad reviews is because our room was gross, bathroom floor tile was cracked and loose, people can easily cut their feet if not careful. Floor by tub seems like it was completely rotted through and would give by 2-3 inches when stepped on. Breakfast was mediocre at best. The whole place seemed dirty and staff doesn’t seem like they care about providing guests with an enjoyable experience.

My main complaints is the tub looked gross so I did not shower as I’d planned and also the walls were too thin, as I was able to hear people speaking loudly in the hall, the woman next door also speaking loudly and the children running around above me.. but overall I Did enjoy my stay:)

Affordable and the room was clean and fit the 6 of us fine. We got in at 10:30pm. Girl at counter acted like she was annoyed about me checking in and then when I asked for a roll-away bed I got a lecture on how she was the only one working and she had to take care of a bunch of other things and then go and see if she could even find a bed and then she could bring it to us. Upon observation I noticed she responded much better to men so when we needed blankets I sent my daughter’s boyfriend for them and he returned quite quickly with blankets.😊 online said that breakfast was at 6:00am. When you arrive they hand you a paper that tells you that breakfast is at 7:00. We missed breakfast as we had scheduled to leave at 6:30.

Clean hotel, it’s quite outdated, and pillows could be better. The worst part was the breakfast. Even for hotel standards this breakfast was terrible. We went downstairs right after breakfast started and “food” was out. 3 pieces of sausage was all that was there, no other meat, and eggs weren’t even full. Nothing else even really existed.

Check in was easy and the room was clean. The main issues were the "free breakfast ". We went to the dining area at 9. There were 2 pieces of sausage and two egg rounds. Almost everything else was empty. Breakfast in this hotel is open until 10am. We barely had enough waffle mix for two waffles. I don't normally eat waffles, but that's pretty much all that was available. There was a wi dow over the breakfast area where the "cook" stared at everyone in the dining area. But did nothing to help the people who came in the same time we did. One person asked about biscuits. The cook never spoke, just watched as everyone entering grabbed a juice and left. This was by far the worst breakfast experience in a hotel offering breakfast that I've seen.

Need to be up front that the elevator was broken and guests need to carry everything up the stairs. Breakfast was indicated on line that eggs, sausage, muffins, waffles etc would be there—BUT no protein was there, only breads, muffins, waffles & cereal was available— only carbs to eat. Disappointed with the breakfast- we went to Sheetz each morning instead.

The breakfast had a nice variety. Eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, bagels, fruit cocktail, waffles. Only negative comment would be that the breakfast attendant played on her phone and never came out to wipe any tables in the hour i was down there nor did she wipe up minor spills around the milk and coffee area. But i would definitely stay here again.
