Yuck. Do not recommend.

Disliked: The room was damp and smelled damp and musty. We didn’t even want to take our shoes off in the room because the rug felt damp. The towels were worn thin, looked dingy - no longer white, rough not soft at all.

Good value hotel but need...

Liked: Convenience to the airport, breakfast, staff
Disliked: Shower was so slippery that we had to hang onto the shower door bar with one hand the entire time showering. It was scary because you felt like you were going to fall.

Better service

Liked: Good location
Disliked: Breakfast was ok but they had no bacon I was looking forward to. It was only 2 hours into the 4 hours of breakfast and out of bacon asked them for some and was told they didn’t have any more. We finished and went back to room to check out and when we went by the breakfast area to check out I saw bacon when I was told they didn’t have any more. By then it was too late we were going out the door. Not happy !!
