Every aspect of the facility needs a thourough cleaning and new furniture. There was no continental breakfast as advertised and no coffee maker/condiments in the room. Room was not refreshed/cleaned for our two night stay. The room key was not set for our two night stay which required attention

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room smelled like pee which I assumed was bleach used to cover up cigarette smell (was a non-smoking room). Was there for one night but left my suit in the car to avoid it smelling like the room (had an interview the next day). Staff was very polite and available though. No wi-fi but had decent cell service. If your ok toughing it out for one night can probably do it for a deal but for some might not be worth the 20 dollars saved.

It’s clean, quiet, staff is very friendly and helpful. I wish it had an elevator for people with knee issues and some welcoming refreshments. ( juice, fruits and water).

Jonathan

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was gross, shower had ceiling tiles falling down. While nothing unsafe was apparent, we did not feel safe in the room. Outside of that, only three channels on the tv had working sound, there were no outlets readily available to charge any devices and the room smelled nauseatingly of stale cigarette smoke. Ryder Cup week and the choices were slim, but I'd avoid this property.
