Our stay this past weekend was ok. Nothing not upsetting. Just noticed that our room 420 had a light out in the bathroom. Elevator was quite slow, so ended up taking the stairs quite often during our stay. The breakfast was just ok. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Fire alarms were going off Saturday morning around 7 AM. April 5, 2025. We were told at the front desk that it was a false alarm, but no explanation as to why it was going off. These alarms were ear piercing and went off for over an hour, it was enough to drive anyone insane. We threw our stuff in our suitcases and checked out early. Did not even eat breakfast. We could not stand the noise any longer. The fire department was there, and I think they were attempting to reset the alarms, but had difficulty .

Staff was very nice, but I was given a dirty room at check in. The bedsheets were filthy, there was hair everywhere in the bathroom and even feces in the toilet. I was given a new room which was cleaner but could have used some updating. Worst part of my stay was that I got bit by a dog as I exited the elevator. The GM stated she was told the dog was a service animal but could not give me any information for the guest whose large and aggressive dog bit me. After filing a police report and calling corporate several times I have still found no resolution for my medical bills (4 stitches and antibiotics) Corporate is obviously located overseas so there is a language barrier and little to no help. Will never book with this company of hotels again.

Overall, our stay was good. We really appreciated that they started breakfast an hour early so that our youth team could be out the door at at their game in time. My only constructive criticism is the dust. The lampshades, pictures frames, headboard, and along the walls by the furniture need some alltention. I only noticed because I dropped my phone between the nightstand and bed and there was chewed up gum, some other little garbage and a lot of dust. The bathroom was very clean though. Overall I would stay here again.

The staff was very young and seemed a bit inexperienced. The vending machine options were pretty average, and breakfast was also just okay—nothing really stood out. On the positive side, the beds were comfortable and the A/C cooled the room quickly. Unfortunately, there was mold in the room, and I woke up with a sore throat both nights, which was a major downside.

Only real complaint is that the AC could not be lowered below 72 degrees. This was very warm and it felt better in the hallway. If it was not for the short stay I would have asked for another room or if this is the lowest temperature a guest can have I would have left and went elsewhere.

We just wanted a night away while having house projects so stayed a quick night here. The check in process was smooth and upon immediate arrival the room seemed clean and nice. But after being there awhile we noticed there were multiple cracks in the ceilings, the tub would not drain and filled as we were showering and every noise the people above you made you could hear. We were woken up at 2:30am to them stomping around. The breakfast was full service and great though!
