4/10 Fair

Pretty run down for the price. Bathroom floor tile was dirty and could use new shower curtain. Would have stayed elsewhere but all was booked due to graduation weekend. Definitely took advantage by increasing price for a 2 star hotel.

Graduation weekend

The hotel was very busy due to it being graduation weekend, but the staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and my family felt safe.

Hotel needs an upgrade

Over half of the lights and plugs were not working. Room a strong smell of pine cleaner.

Not so sweet, suite!!

Wow! I realize when going to a "college town" during graduation you can expect higher prices and overworked staff. But, when you call a room a "suite" I feel like there's a certain level of expectation that is inferred. Yet, I guess I have pretty high standards. The full size refrigerator in the separate kitchen looked like something they found in the alley behind a frat house. No coffee maker, no clock, no cups, (even in the restroom) no carpet! The floor that was so filthy we had to wash our feet before getting into bed or putting our shoes on. Everything in the room was dated and could use a coat of paint. I'll close with the one positive thing we found; the mattress was comfortable! P.S. The pillows were from 1980.

It has clearly had updated that kept costs down. But it was very clean and the bed was good. The lighting and electric plugs were lacking, and the internet didn't work well.
