Having stayed here a couple times, I like the location, the property and staff I've encountered. The breakfast plus pop corn and cookies in the lobby are a nice touch.
The hotel is in a ggod location, within walkable distance to stores and restaurants, but it is a old hotel. The carpets were dirty and the hot water did not work at all. I moved rooms to one with cleaner carpets, but the internet connection was poor. Nobody was able to fix this. It seemed this was not their problem.
This was the best Sleep Inn I have ever stayed at. Clean, comfortable, quiet, friendly staff, close to everything, and also a good breakfast. A+

Disliked: Cleanliness
“The beds at the hotel were comfortable, and the staff at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming. However, the cleanliness of the room was disappointing. There was noticeable dust on the hairdryer in the bathroom and on top of the TV, which also appeared to have streaks, as if it had been sprayed but not wiped properly. While the exterior of the hotel looks well-maintained and inviting, the interior feels quite dated and could definitely use some remodeling. With a few improvements, this place could be much more enjoyable for guests.”
The staff was very friendly and helpful, the property was very clean and the location was convenient. The property was a little dated. I’m not sure of the safety of the area, though the parking lot was well lit. It is in a busy shopping district so there are lot of people passing through the area.
Always have stayed here for cleaniness and price but they decided to put a high school band mixed in to the floor with adults and the slamming of doors and carrying on went to all hours and started before the sun was up..will NOT stay again
The smell of the hallways and room cannot be tolerated. The smell burns your nose and throat. Is it the cleaners they use? Plus the bathtub has [in 2 different rooms] RUST around the drain.
