Clean and friendly staff
Our stay went very well, it was clean and the staff were friendly. But they need to hire more staff. I feel for the staff trying to keep up with the guests…we needed more towels but couldn’t get a hold of someone and the breakfast, it was a shame to see that staff had to struggle to get more food in stock.

Early wake up
Hotel was fine for a quick overnight but we were given room 115 on lower level and starting very early in morning was chair dragging and foot stomping. I’m not sure if we were below the breakfast area but it was too early for us.

Underwhelming
Really, the customer service at the check in and out was underwhelming.
They weren't rude, but not personable. I don't need to be entertained, but there's def room for improvement on how they interact with customers. Elaborate, smile, say hello, etc.

It is a lo-budget option. Period. There was an amazing washer and drier for guests. Coin operated. Hotel had no change. None of the surrounding businesses had change. It became a thing. Little good to have the laundry available/not available.

Our stay was excellent and satisfactory in many ways. The size of the room and bathroom were very spacious. The parking lot was convenient and accessible. The breakfast had plenty of options to choose from. The service was terrific as we were assisted with late night requests.
