• Close to convention center.
• No extra bed for 10 bucks. Small rooms. Pool area badly in need of update. My brother cut his foot on a piece of glass at bottom of pool.

“This hotel is nothing to write home about. It is in need of updates and more helpful staff. It is conveniently located next to the Convention Center which may be the only thing keeping it in business. I was not very impressed. The pool area is like walking back in time. Just a place to sleep which is all we were looking for. No pleasant surprises here.”

“That is the worst hotel to stay in. Not a safe or clean hotel. I was not treated well at all.”

• The pool area and game area was nice entertainment for the kids.
• The cigarette smoke all the way from the lobby to the floors you were staying on.

“Motel is fine if you don't mind the cigarette aroma.”

• Nice downtown location.
• No parking, smoking allowed in public spaces.

“The first impression is the smell of fresh & stale cigarette smoke in the hallways & other enclosed public spaces made me cringe. The hallways smell bad & the hallway ash trays stink especially when you are standing next to the elevators. Their is no parking provided by the hotel so if you are traveling by car expect to feed meters, and hope that one of the patrons of the many seedy adult bars or drinking establishments does not feel like breaking into your car in the late night hours. This hotel should provide security for the cars of their customers. I would probably not stay here again.”

• Rooms were clean and comfortable.
• Swimming pool/spa area needs a maintenance/upgrade.

“Good value for the price. Clean and comfortable. Several restaurants within walking distance. The hotel was very quiet maybe 25% full during my midweek stay. Parking was in a parking garage across the street. Staff was very accommodating. I would have liked an exercise facility in the hotel. Overall I was very pleased with the accommodations.”

• Location.
• The rooms were dirty, the toilets were messed up, the AC was leaking, the walkway was burning hot, the building was dirty, the staff was unhelpful

“This has to be one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. I got in and was given a room in which the toilet didn't work. I went back down and got the room changed and then was given a room in which the AC was leaking. I called to get someone to check it out and no one ever came the whole time I was there. The rooms were dirty, the hallways were dirty. The skywalk to the garage was burning hot because there is no AC in it. The front desk people were unhelpful. Literally, the worst hotel I have ever stayed in.”

• It was convenient for me to the other place I needed to be.
• I did not get the room I had requested when I made my reservation.

“This hotel was clean but lacked hotel charm. I was disappointed that my room request was not granted.”

• Enjoyed the pool and spa area.
• The dark brick interior wall of the room reminded me of prison movies.

“Other than the wall of the room, we enjoyed our stay. The staff members were friendly and efficient, knowledgeable about the area and very accommodating.”

• Was perfect for the area I was trying to be by and the front desk people were very friendly and helpful.
• Hotel restaurant food (ribs dry and over cooked), (crab stuffed mushroom very salty) staff fair.

“For a moderately priced hotel, was very accommodating and friendly. Close to many places off Hwy 218 and had great access. Very comfortable bed also!! The bed in our 3 star hotel the next night was bouncy and not as comfortable. Great price for the money! Thanks!”

• Convenience - Free Parking - Indoor Pool.
• Room was kind of outdated - could use a little remodeling.

“It was a great room! If we had to pay the full price they ask, we would have been pretty disappointed. Worked great for us for the price, and room was good sized for the family.”

• The shower was very good. The beds were comfortable. The staff tried to be helpful.
• Pets should not be allowed in this type of hotel. There was animal feces in the walkway to the hotel. I also picked up fleas in the room.

“This hotel is good value for the money. We had noisy guests on our floor from 12:00 midnight to 2:00 a.m. one night. They were shouting and banging doors. Security finally came and quitted them down. Also an animal had been in our room and I got flea bites. No animals should be allowed in the rooms.”

• Free wireless Internet, great downtown location.
• Rooms outdated, hotel needs overhauled.

“Overall the stay at this hotel was good. It served its purpose of giving me a place to stay while out on business. I would not recommend this hotel to leisure travelers as the standards for a vacation are higher. The staff was very friendly and answered any questions I had. Parking was provided free across the street in a parking garage (nice plus).”
