It’s fine for a one night stay traveling through. The room was dingy and musty smelling. Stains on the carpet. But, the bed was comfortable and AC worked well. Not terrible but not great.

There were bags of garbage in the hall when I checked in. There had been some repair on the ceiling of my room so there was a 2x4 nailed to the ceiling with nails sticking out. People at the front desk were very kind.

6/10 Okay

Good, almost great but not quite there

Hotel staff was amazing. Our room was nice. Lots of dings and scratches all around that made me nervous if theyd charge us for it even though it was there prior to us. They didn't have trash can liners that i thought was odd. Found a dog chew toy up agaisnt the bed frame on the floor but everything else was super clean! The bed and pillows were perfect.
