Fantastic place to stay. I checked in probably around 8:30 or 9 o’clock at night and unfortunately the only room left was a pet friendly room. I do have two dogs and I’m used to pet smells so I rolled with it. I definitely smelled a pet smell though, but can’t complain for that being the only choice I had. If you don’t mind pet odors then the pet friendly rooms are fine but I would definitely stay there again maybe just not in a pet room. Lol.

Great place to stay

Very nice property and super friendly staff. Apparent number of upgrades and refreshes both completed and underway. This was just a quick stopover but I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Overall, disgusting. stains on furniture in lobby. Room 118, first floor. There is visible mold/mildew on the shower head. Shower basin looks dirty. needs to be bleached out. Bedding smells of dog. It was a pet friendly hotel and I brought a pet, so I was given a pet room, but this was ridiculous. I was left to wonder if they ever even washed the bedding. My dog is "hypo allergenic" schnauzer, so she doesn't set off my allergies, but my allergies were off the charts during my stay --cause the room was not clean after the last person or last several persons. Hotel hallway has bad smell, room was even worse. Workmanship in creating the structures was not top notch. Bad paint and caulk jobs. Pieced together counter top materials in bathroom mis-matched in color and looked bad. Sausage and eggs at bfast tasted fine. coffee, same. Hotel staff was friendly and very pleasant. They just need to find a competent cleaning crew and establish cleaning protocols that will produce proper results.

Not great

Underwhelming. Expected better based on ratings. Layout of room was good and beds comfortable; however, the amount of hair in shower and drab decor made it feel like an old nasty hotel. Super cheap alternative to staying in Gville on a game weekend but don’tbe surprised by what you get.
