Negative Reviews
negative:
Noisy environment
The hotel is located close to the interstate and some guests were disturbed by the constant sound of traffic. Other guests complained about noise within the hotel, particularly those located close to the breakfast area, as the sound of other guests walking past and having loud conversations could be heard.
negative:
Limited parking
While parking is free, places are limited. At times parking is difficult to find and you may need to park in the nearby streets.
negative:
Cleanliness needs attention
While most guest left favorable reviews about housekeeping, others reported negative experiences. At times mold has been found growing in the bathrooms, the carpets in some rooms are old and worn, and hairs have been found in the bathroom as well as among the bed sheets.
