I have stayed at this property multiple times and it’s worth the money for sure. The rooms are decent the property is kept up and the staff is overall , very nice. I say overall only because this last time I stayed there, we ordered Rosati’s for dinner and they didn’t include salt or pepper so I asked the second shift person for a single pack of pepper and he responded that it would be available the following morning when they have breakfast out. Keep in mind, we have stayed at this particular establishment 6-7 times over the past few weeks and I was asking for a pack of pepper not for breakfast. He really told me no regarding something that would have taken less time to grab it than responding with that answer. No he didn’t have to say sure I’ll grab you a pack or let me use the bottle for two seconds , he did not owe me but I’m quite sure management would have honored my request as it was not that big of a deal . It rubbed me the wrong way because of how he said it as well. I wasn’t rude in responding , but customer service is everything in today’s world. That being said, I think the other staff members are great especially the manager and the rooms are not 5 star rooms but surely nice enough to stay in and definitely worth the money.

I liked that they gave us a different room when the first pet friendly one had an alarm beeping and a funny smell. The breakfast was very hard to find something appetizing. Raisin brand was it.

There was some mildew on the mattress, pub hair on the toilet, someone tried to open our door, and there were snot on the mattress under the protective cover, and the fridge in the room didn't even work. We let someone know about the fridge but nothing was done with it.

I’d stay again
I’d recommend. Not sure if it’s too much work but each room should be swept and mopped before the next guest. Otherwise, I’d highly recommend this place and intend to stay again. Two floors, no elevator. I was not asked if I wanted a bottom room floor. One set of stairs. Keep this in mind

Great value
The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean. The beds were comfy. I felt it was in a pretty safe location although there were a few homeless people in the parking lot both when we checked in and when we left. They could probably do a little better job cleaning as the fridge in our room looked like someone spilled something in it but it was not cleaned prior to us checking in. But overall, it was a great value for the money.
