No personal at the front desk. Done by a person in Florida, over a kaiso type check in. Never saw a person at the hotel. Continental Breakfast filled once, not refilled or checked. Very clean rooms. Bathroom door is too large and did not close. $100 deposit is not necessary.
Breakfast was so-so. The waffles did not fully cook and the apple juice had little bugs in it. The ice machine only worked part of the time. We did NOT like the virtual check in. It was hard to understand and it really takes away that personal, face to face experience! Other than than that the room was clean and the hotel was nice and quiet.
Very friendly staff and had plenty of restaurants and stores with in walking distance. Had a very pleasant stay and the breakfast was fantastic. I would gladly stay here again when given the chance.
Excellent customer service! The owner was very friendly and he was very welcoming and kind! The room was clean and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable, as well! The continental breakfast was also nice. Excellent stay for a great price! Would definitely stay here again! :-)

The rooms were clean and beds were very comfortable. The person at checkin seemed exhausted (I arrived @ 11pm) yet extremely pleasant and helpful. I recommend.

Room was clean and air conditioning worked great! The bed was very comfortable.The water pressure was horrible. There wasn't much to choose from on the breakfast side. The hotel was in an area that had restaurants and shopping. It was a good stay for the most part.

Basic hotel. Beds were very comfortable. Free breakfast was disappointing mix of breads and very little else.
The outside of the building could use a refresh but the rooms were newly remodeled and clean. The staff was very nice and helpful.

The staff very polite and friendly. Disliked the stains on the bedspreads. The sink in one room didnt work so great but we had two rooms so it worked out.
For the most part, it clean and comfortable. Regarding the free breakfast… for a 7 day stay, I found it available 3 days. Two days with no coffee. Even in the room when they cleaned it it was not restocked with coffee.
Located nicely near a Perkins and McDonald’s, Target all with in walking distance.
Very friendly, helpful staff. The rest wasn’t good - Entire property looks tired, old. Other guests loud. Neighborhood sketchy. Advertised breakfast was bread to toast and cereal.
