Now what I expected

The night clerk was great!! She was very plesent and helpful. The blankts on the bed were wrinkled, like they had been sitting in a pill or in a basket for days. The room was mostly clean. I did notice some dirt on the floor when I first got in the room. The bed was hard as a rock! The outside of the hotel was very well taken care of. The rooms do need some updating. I was on the back side so it was very inconvenient to go to the oce machine. The breakfast was okay. Typical hotel breakfast.

Could be updated

Nice people but took a shower and walked on carpet and feet bottoms were nasty dirty from the carpet. A/C was cool but was not taking out the humidity. Clothes were damp in the AM and it was hard to sleep. The extra door lock was pulled out of the wall except one e screw.

Wknd game day

Our stay was for the wknd and the hotel was a place to lay our heads for a good price. It was safe and the breakfast in the morning was a good free breakfast that you would have to pay $10 per person elsewhere… plan on staying there again for game day!
