While i was picking the rooms online i was under the impression i was to receive a smoking room because some of the rooms clearly stated NON SMOKING room while others did not. While checking in I was told that they are a smoke free hotel. It wasn't a huge deal for me, I was more bothered by the lack of clarity about it online..

No toiletries, none mounted in the bathroom either. Key didn’t work. Desk clerk couldn’t get it to work. Had to call in someone rise so we could get back in our room. Steps upstairs were dirty. Desk people were very nice though.

Wonderful Stay

The stay was wonderful. The breakfast was excellent. Room was very clean and spacious. The one thing I will point out, and this is getting to seem typical at hotels, the toilets are very low to the floor. So, if you are a tall person or someone with bad knees, you will feel like you are on a child's toilet. The hotel is located in a very nice, safe, area with many food options within walking distance.

The bathroom and beds were clean, however the place was rundown and needs updating which made it feel not clean. The free breakfast was very limited.
