The side door to the building (the emergency exit on the first floor) was always open so anyone from the outside could get in the building. I closed it more than once. The staff were great and friendly. Exercise area was great. Really appreciated the building was smoke free.

Rooms were what you would expect for the price, but regardless of the price the floors shouldn’t leave your socks and feet black. Also the pool really didn’t seem very clean. But for an overnight stay it served its purpose. Breakfast was nice, with a good selection.

Our room was decently clean when we arrived. The hallways were dirty and needed swept badly (the whole week). The window seals had dead bugs in them , like a lot of dead bugs. The breakfast was ok, but we could have dealt with a change in what was served day to day.... Everyday was the same breakfast. The last day finally had a different kind of muffin other than chocolate, so that was nice. Overall, we had a nice stay. Their coffee is really yummy. We would stay again. All of the staff was very kind and welcoming. We had a nice week.
