Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Clean & Comfy"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Comfortable beds. Close walking for youth into downtown. We were there in very early March. Breakfast was coffee, bagels or cereal. Rooms were clean.

"Comfortable Stay, Parking Difficult."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
We needed a reserve on a room the night before our stay. The room was average with a broken door knob and did not have the best housekeeping. However, the stay was comfortable, the staff was pleasant and the breakfast was nice. Our only complaint would be that the parking was not feasible. I would suggest that one parking space be assigned to each hotel room number as assigned according to room number for the area of the stay. This would prevent having to walk a good distance with our luggage to get the car. And we also dealt with vehicles taking up two spaces that would have helped eliminate the parking issues. Overall we were pleased with our stay.

Overall Score5.0/ 5
The girl that was at the check in desk is such an extremely nice person. She was a pleasure to deal with. I really liked our room. It was very clean and quite peaceful. I will plan to stay there again. The girl deserves a reward of some type she made us feel so comfortable and welcome. Kudos to her from the two Ohio girls.
