Engaged with 3 different front desk ladies, all 3 were very friendly and provided great service. Also there was a lady working in the breakfast area who was extremely nice and was catering to people’s needs. I was very impressed with her work ethic.

Tasty Breakfast - Unusual and Unforgetable
The breakfast was tasty and exceptional. My complements to the cook. I and one of my friends with me, who is quite demanding given he is originally from Baltimore talked about our food experience for a while after we left. I recommend this hotel because the scrambled eggs, the beef patties, and the potatoes are unusually tasty and unforgetabble.

The hotel needs to change the chairs to plastic like material. It also needs to place a real blanket on the bed.

Terrible and scary experience
Worst experience ever. We felt we made a big mistake by taking a room in this location.
Dirty streets, abandon areas around, not even a safe parking area close to the hotel.
Why hotels. Com eould recomend a place like this for $200.00 dollars a night.???
We do not trust “hotels .com “anymore!!!😡
The location is disgusting!!!

Extremely friendly staff and cleaning crew.
Properly seems to be an old establishment that used to be a smoking friendly property; Eventhough, the room was marked as non-smoking room, but the smoke smell is embedded in the room, walls and carpet. There is a strong smell of smoke when you open the door. It made us dizzy for our stay duration and 2 days after our checkout.
