Great value hotel near airport.
Recent change from Howard Johnson. Lots of equipment and finish updated. A few minor issues with our room but great staff. Breakfast time was limited and room could have been better serviced. Great value. Pool and exercise areas were clean.

Towels and bed good, room and shower dated, minimal hot water, shower curtain mildewed. Continental breakfast cheap alleged orange juice, more like koolaid.
Smoking cigs and weed at the entrance unacceptable.
The young man who wore different baseball hats very nice, always smiled and provided great info. Give him a bonus.
Location very convenient.
Coffee should be available throughout the day.

We stayed for 2 nights. And it was a good experience overall. I heard a fire alarm chirping in the hall one night but it was gone the next. AC was nice and cold. 8/10 experience overall.

Sleep in your car BEFORE you stay at this olace
So noisy. Sounded like the people were going to bust through the front and side doors to our room at any given moment. Zero sleep. Gross. I was there with my daughter and had with my phone in hand in case I had to call 911 at any given moment.

Quick stop all easy
Looks like a major renovation, paint etc. Beds were extremely comfortable. The bar and grille area looked comfortable but very loud so we skipped it. Breakfast room is ok but long tables make it very difficult to walk around. Breakfast was traditional motel breakfast. Hot, fast etc would definitely stay there again at the reasonable price but still waiting for $100 deposit in case of damage after 5 days

Meh
I suppose I got what I paid for. Pictures are very deceptive. This place is…in need of a facelift. The tub in my room looked gross honestly. Streaky and with a long hair in it (myself and my husband have short hair). It wasn’t awful honestly but not quite the experience I was hoping for.

Horrible experience there were bugs in our room and manager refused to give us a new one stating they were “full” however rooms were still able to be booked on website. Definitely not worth the risk.

Check in was not great, the rooms were supposed to be adjoining and they were not. Then when we went to the room they gave us one was already open and was not clean at all. They moved us and the new rooms were okay. The next day we asked them to clean the room and replenish our towels and they never did. Otherwise the beds were clean and comfortable. also common to hear dogs barking at night.

Will definitely be returning asap
The stay was great! Affordable for a family (2 kids, 2 adults) Beds were amazing! Kids and I really enjoyed the pool and how late it was open. Front desk staff was incredible and super helpful and friendly. The interactions were genuine; not forced like typical chain hotels. Very refreshing and welcoming. With the new ownership and renovations it has drastically improved, I can't wait to take the family there again! Can't forget the free breakfast, delicious! No complaints from either kiddos...hard to do!

Just a little smell...
The property is in a good location to several different areas.
The hotel is in good physical condition. Beds were super comfortable. Our only concern was that the bathroom area had a noticeable urine smell. I reported it to the front desk before housekeeping came through, but when we returned at the end of the days activities it was still there. They clearly cleaned the rooms, but it didn't go away.

Was OK, not good
Room was updated but corners where cut i.e. new stuff was just put on top of old ceramic. Breakfast was limited (no white bread, only 2 types of jams) but you could get by. Cleanliness was average, we had hairs in one bed, bandages still on the floor around the toilet. Clientele seemed sketchy during our stay. Smelled of marijuana on the floor and doors banged regularly during the night (missing stoppers??)
At the end of the day it was ok. Nothing major but it was a bit pricy for the quality of the hotel.
