I've seen hostels cleaner than this

2.0

I've never stayed in a hotel so bad. When we first got to our room, the room wasn't cleaned. Okay, it happens. Second room, had been "cleaned" but was very very dirty. We pull the couch/bed out, and there was a toothbrush and other debris in there - except, no mattress. Third room, not even passable, but we had no choice. Light fixtures missing bulbs. Bathroom light, missing 3 of 5 bulbs. A gap in the door, you could slide a deck of cards through. Absolutely awful. Walked over the Home 2 Suites and begged for a room. Had to stay one night (out of 4) in this place. Teenaged daughter cried at how disgusting this hotel is.

Two thumbs up!

Great experience..clean rooms comfortable bed ,hot breakfast and polite helpful staff. They are pet friendly which is very important to me because I don't go anywhere without my dog. Definitely recommend it to my friends and I will stay here every time I'm in town.

Budget experience

6.0

I have to give this hotel a very mixed review. This hotel has seen better days, but our room was clean as well as the lobby/breakfast area. Let's start with the room. The bed was comfy, there were 5 small pillows on our King bed, and the towels were fluffy and big for a budget type hotel. However, the carpet was stained (not dirty, just stained), the shower wall was cracked, and the curtains had stains on them too. We slept fine, and had the things we needed including a refrigerator. The pool felt great on a really hot day, but the surrounding area needed to be cleaned- cigarette butts and bottle caps on the ground. There are only two or three chairs- there's a chaise lounge that is missing it's cushion so it can't be used. There were no pool towels outside, but the front desk had some. The breakfast was OK. Scrambled eggs and sausage. The waffle maker actually had good Texas shaped waffles though. There was bread and bagels for toasting. There was some yogurt but no fresh fruit. I don't know if I'd return again- the construction traffic made arriving and departing more difficult but we didn't hear any construction noise. We got what we paid for but might look somewhere else next time.

The Included Breakfast was Not So Much

4.0

Very convenient to I-30, but that comes with a steady hum of traffic sounds. Not bad, though, because it's flat and nobody is climbing hills. Property has some age but appears to have been refreshed fairly recently. Elevator is slow and creaky. Bedding was very comfortable and everything in the room was clean. Toilet seat was barely attached. One coffee cup and one plastic cup provided. Were told that breakfast was 6-9, which for a Sunday morning seemed a bit early. When I first went down to get coffee at about 7, there were three sausages and old scrambled eggs in the chafing dish. Going back to eat at 8:15 the chafing dish was empty; front desk said the person to take care of that had just arrived. Returning at 8:45 there were sausage patties and freshly scrambled eggs. There were no plates so the eggs and sausage went into a bowl; that was serviceable. The only cereal was Fruit Loops but there was no milk. No orange juice or other drinks. A few bread items were available; waffle iron appeared to work. Only fruit offered was apples and one orange, although I had seen people with bananas earlier. The fridge contained only butter packets, no yogurt or other offerings. And only two tables looked clean enough to want to eat at. In other words, worst "breakfast included" ever. In sum, the physical and comfort side are pretty good, and the food service should be abandoned if they can't bring it up to standard.

Quiet place, great price

I booked on Priceline and got a very low rate. I was pleasantly surprised. The staff were knowledgeable and very helpful. The manager was also very nice. The room was clean and as advertised. Breakfast was so/so. The standard continental fair with biscuits and sausage as the only warm item. Overall it was Excellent. I have no complaints. :)

Not worth the price

Needed a stop over on way home from vacation. Hotel is very dirty, room smelled of smoke. Torn carpet. Filthy tub, and broken dresser. No hot breakfast. Would not stay here again. The one positive is the wonderful and friendly night desk person. She was great.
