• Price.
• Control over temperature was poor.

“Perfectly adequate lodging for the price. Difficult to find off highway - directions were definitely necessary. Room was clean, shower good, bed adequate.”

• Great air conditioning provided.
• The hallways, stairwells and elevator had the aroma of a molding smell.

“Inexpensive, but that's what you get for the quality involved. The beds were really hard and the TV was really small. The air conditioning worked great!”

• Everything was quite satisfactory.
• It was just a tad bit small; also, no screen in window.

“For a one night stay, it's worth the price. We had no problems, the room was clean, and we were quite comfortable.”

• The A/C worked.
• Cigarette burns and paint on the bedding!

“I was told my room was unavailable and they had no record of me staying there. After a 20 min conversation of trying to understand him and my voice getting loud.”

• Convenient location by the freeway.
• Nasty towels, smelled odd, obviously pennies were pinched by management wherever possible.

“Bathroom was nasty, too. Sluggish bathtub drain.”

• There was no noise from the outside even though we were very close to an interstate and international airport.
• Housekeeping interrupted us very early, long before check-out.

“Exactly what you expect for your money. Its down a side road that is somewhat confusing to find, but parking was very nice, lots of room and a spot was available both outside my window and near the elevator. The area is nice and shopping is good. A reasonable distance from the Casinos across the river.”

• Friendly staff, clean rooms.
• Not easy to find at night, a bit noisy due to nearby highway.

“Hard to find at night from exit 181. It has convenient parking, courteous & friendly staff and clean rooms. TVs are small and I couldn't get the remote to turn it on and off, but it would change the channels.”

• It was in a good location to the places we wanted to visit.
• The bed was not very comfortable.

“The staff was friendly and courteous. The room was clean. It did have a nice continental breakfast. The bed and pillows were a little bit hard.”

• The location suited our needs very well.
• It was simply mediocre.

“The place was practically empty. I requested a change from king to 2 double beds as we had a child with us and they charged me $15 more. I would understand if the hotel was nearly full, but that was far from the case. The air conditioner/heater was loud enough to drowned out airport or highway noise, which used to be a problem with this location. Overall, it is not nearly as nice as it was when it was a Fairfield Inn.”

• Good shower.
• Continental breakfast was poor.

“My reservation had me set for a smoking room, which I did not request. I was not impressed overall. I have stayed in nicer ones in Florence for less money.”

• The desk clerk was better than any clerk Ive ever dealt with.
• Choice of television channels.

“Accommodations are pleasing for any traveler who needs a good nights sleep. Hotel pool is very nice to relax in as well. Bed is quite comfortable and clean. Television is nice with very clear picture, but choice could be better.”

• Helpful staff.
• Upon check in room wasn't clean and ready for occupancy. Maid service routinely after 4:00 p.m.

“Check in wasn't until 3:00 upon our 4:30 arrival room was not clean and the hotel staff was unaware of it's condition. Rooms routinely unattended to until after 4:00 p.m. Staff was extremely helpful and polite. Every room was a hit or miss scenario upon looking into the first room we were booked in, it had a microwave the subsequent room did not. The TV was not in proper working order and the reporting and rectification of the problem was not responded to. It's in serious need of a total upgrade from the towels to the mattresses and furniture. The only reason I'm not complaining further is because the price was excellent, however you get what you pay for.”

• The staff was not helpful, the air conditioning didn't work correctly and every one of the ice machines was broken.
