The bathroom definitely needs remodeling. The bath tub was dingy and the toilet was toddler size meaning super low. Otherwise ok. I would not stay here again even with the good location.

I usually stay at Comfort Inn hotels. This one was ok compared to others have stayed in. The afternoon that we got there the guy (Mark) was to helpful to us. He got us a luggage cart and we loaded our stuff on it and he took it to our room. He really went out of his way. He deserves an award! The breakfast was ok. I would have liked to have had some potatoes but unfortunately there wasn’t any. The lady taking care of breakfast did go out of her way and got me some turkey sausage and some bananas one morning. Kudos to her also.

Worst experience ever

Not sure how there are any good ratings. This place was disgusting. The room smelled, was filthy, and damp. I felt as though I had bugs crawling on me. Even though I had prepaid for two nights, I checked out early and went to a new hotel. I have never been so disgusted by a hotel room in my life.

Good for the value

Very helpful people in the front desk for check in and city restaurant recommendations. Nice room, It was clean and tidy, but the a/c was not working so well, so it was kind of hot at night, and the carpet around it was wet. Very well located, lots of parking space too. The breakfast not so good: the bagel I tried was dry and old, so we did not try anything else.
