Overall it was a fine place to stayCONS The breakfast was not good at all Soggy waffles, dried out sausage, the eggs were okay

I stay places with breakfast in mind and that was not one I would want to have again The stay was Over priced I felt compared to the marriott Renaissance Cleveland that I was in the weekend before for $50 cheaper and only 5 min walk from the house of blues right downtown where my concert was at Not real close to late night food placesPROS The staff were friendly, the room was clean and comfy The area was nice and I felt safe walking around at night

Speaking to a handicapped accessible room Shower seat extended past the tub making it impossible to use the shower curtain to keep water off the floor Since housekeeping is limited this meant I had to ask for extra towels to soak up the water on the floor

There is a phone installed on the wall that is so close to the grab bar that it makes it difficult to use the bar effectively so my son has knocked the phone off the hook a few times when trying to gain his balanceRoom didn’t have dish soap or towels and dish set was a bit incomplete We reserved a king bed suite and got a queen studio Considering my son is 16 and needs space due to his surgery that is a huge adjustmentMany of the lights on the property do not work which becomes an issue of safety at night I had to use my cell phone flashlight to navigate the property and also to figure out how to use the card to enter (no light at the door or lights in the parking lot) which isn’t the easiest thing while pushing my child in a wheelchair that needs two hands to do so Accessible entrance is not easily found Went to two doors because the one near the parking lot wasn’t accessible and the one near the courtyard was (super steep incline on the ramp to that door)If you don’t have to consider safety and accessible options it’s likely ok I stayed here before many years ago but my son at that time was not wheelchair bound so I didn’t notice all these problems thenThe hallways do have smells of food and animals but the room appears to smell ok Our tv also doesn’t work properly It allegedly was on 86:100 but barely a whisper as far as volume

This place rips off veterans Really, they’re ripping off the citizens of the United States by not honoring the government rate for official travel But also ripping me off, because I’m going to have to eat the difference based on the way travel reimbursements work

Occasion: Work travel- Booked online for 3-8 April at government rate of $199- Shortened reservation to check out 6 April before my arrival date ( my Th/Fr meetings were cancelled) and was not informed of a rate change, nor did I receive an updated confirmation reflecting a different rate)- Offered proper documentation per their website at check in and was told they didn’t need (looking back, this could have been a foreshadowing but it’s not uncommon for businesses to not want to see ID so I didn’t infer trouble at the time)- Called on the 5th to extend until Friday again (they added back the meetings on Th/Fr) and was not informed of a rate change, nor did I receive an updated confirmation reflecting a different rate-When I received the bill, even though they had listed the correct rate at the top, they charged me $328 for all but the last day (smh on that one) And to make matters worse, when I tried to call the hotel and Marriott to get the adjustment, they denied me!Would I return/recommend? Not if you’re military or government on official travelFWIW, the husband is a Hilton Honors member and has never had an issue of this nature or a response of this type from Hilton I’m already looking into whether I can transfer my status

Remember to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking your stay This website will compare countless hotel sites and typically will have rates much cheaper compared to others! You’re welcome :)! This hotel is one of my favorites in this area

I have been staying here for a long time If you stay for a few days you won’t be let downThe staff is absolutely amazing! Close to the bus line and metro Dog park right across the street Police station on the corner (felt incredibly safe) Grocery store across the street Our room was very spacious and perfect for two adults (one disabled and traveling with a wheelchair and crutches), our 13 yo son and our 150 lb service animal We had plenty of room The staff is simply amazing and very friendly and accommodating

Hotel was in a good location with wonderful service Main entrance doors locked at night the lot across the street only charged $30 for overnight parking instead of the $50 the hotel charges

Poor wifi however, and the shower door kept sliding open while in the shower Also, even though we noted that 4 will be staying, we were given a room for 2: toiletries, towels, no sheets for the sleeper couch, silverware and plates and cups… they do have good service though and although it took a few calls, everyone was very friendly and helpful

Super nice front desk staff! They were courteous, friendly, and very helpful The room was nice There were a couple of small things that need to be repaired

The location: the hotel is located in a business park environment So, the view is of roads or the parking lot There are shops about a half mile away They have an indoor pool and hot tub Breakfast is pretty basic fare There is a bar in the restaurant So, nothing fancy But, the staff is superb!

Jason Lee

In terms of hospitality and comfort, this stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Rockville-Gaithersburg hotel was by far one of the most best and memorable experiences Joyce and April both helped our two families check in quickly and easily allowing us to make the most of our short stay Not only that, they also took the time to get to know us and found out that it was our 4 year olds birthday and made it extra special by giving him a really memorable present

It’s these little things that make us keep coming back to Hilton and if you’re ever looking for a comfortable, friendly stay, look no further!

Courtenay Marshall

The hotel is clean and well maintained but a little tired and could use some upgrading It’s located in a convenient and nice neighborhood The restaurant staff was very friendly and helpful

The hotel still is not cleaning daily which is fine but I called 4 times and visited the front desk in person asking to get the in-room coffee replenished including waiting up late last night for someone that would be “right up” I’m typing this in need of coffee desperately I’m a Hilton Diamond member and besides a 25 cent bottle of water at checkin there has been no acknowledgment It’s just about impossible to get responses If you just need a room and don’t care about indifferent “service” then it’s fine to stay here Don’t forget to bring your own Kuerig coffee pods if you are staying more than one night Tried to check out on the app but that wasn’t working so went to the front desk and the girl at front desk was busy on a FaceTime call with her friend and couldn’t be bothered to talk and said put the key in the jar Indifferent “service” by the hotel staff from beginning to the end

We really enjoyed our stay here! The location was GREAT We also appreciated the free parking Every one of the front desk staff was very very nice

I was pleasantly surprised at our room Much bigger than what I was anticipating! The beds were super comfy and I loved the channels on the TV My room also had a full-sized fridge, a 2 burner stove, and a dishwasher! There was an AC unit that kept the room cold, but I turned it off and used the ceiling fan instead, which was perfect! The shower door wasn’t sliding properly, but the shower was nice anyways We took advantage of the complimentary breakfast which satisfied our breakfast hunger We also took advantage of the pool! It wasn’t crowded at all and enjoyed the jacuzzi The only problem we encountered about 3 times was that our key would stop working suddenly Being on the 6th floor, it was a little annoying to keep having to take the elevator down to get a new key Other than that, my stay was comfortable and amazing and would recommend this hotel to anyone!

Worst stay I’ve ever had at a Homewood Suites Room 362 Arrived around 630pm

1 Arrived with dinner Digital key failed to work even though the app said it was ready The room door was broken and ajar when we arrived So we walked into the room without the need for a key I have never seen this at any hotel I have no idea how can a room be cleaned and inspected and someone misses that the door won’t close This is a huge security issue and calls into question whether rooms are being inspected2 Reported to the front desk and a maintenance man came to the room and after multiple trips resolved the issue by replacing the door plate that holds the door shut3 We could not see any trash cans in the suite After looking in the kitchen cabinet under the sink we found two We placed one in the bathroom and kept the other in the kitchen4 There were no bag inserts for the ice bucket After contacting the front desk we were told housekeeping would bring them by, but they never showed up4b Didn’t matter much because there was no ice machine on our floor See attached When we reported this to the front desk they acted as if this was new information and proceeded to give me directions to the ice machine5 The kitchen faucet was so loose that the entire thing lifted from the granite surface when turning it on6 The bedroom ac unit rattled very loud as if the unit was coming out of the wall We had to switch on the fan instead which was not optimal7 The hot water at the bathroom sink took a while to warm up The sink is likely clogged as it took several minutes for the water to drain8 The closet doors were open, broken, and could not be closedAs a long-time Hilton customer, I was willing to work this out because things happen, so the following morning around 5am, I requested a full or partial refund with the front desk and was told, only a Manger could honor such a request and they won’t be in until 9amI asked to be called, and was not, so around 910am I returned to the front desk and explained the room’s issues to a yet another person, she disappeared to a back office for a few minutes then returned and told me the manager doesn’t come in on Saturdays So the run-around was in playAt this point, I had interacted with 3 different employees and gotten very little serviceBy far, my biggest issue is that management refused to engage and resolve the issue This is the second time that I have stayed at a Hilton property where management leveraged its staff to avoid doing what a manager should do since the employees were not empowered toAnd so, I am left to tell others about the experienceI would not stay at this location again I would not recommend this location

My wheelchair bound son and I booked a room through our insurance for a ten day visit because our apt flooded In the fifteen minutes it took from the trip being booked and us arriving…They gave away our room for the night but tried to offer us a room the following day They said they could “try” to clean another room but that room didn’t have running water

I learned that our room was given away because as I was waiting in the lobby to check in, the hotel rep was on the phone with our insurance telling her that she gave away the room for the night despite it being available at the time of booking because someone else walked in needing a room before usBasically if you are homeless and need an insurance paid stay, these people won’t care and will give away your fully paid roomETA: the company responded but no mention of a bathroom was in my original complaint because we never stayed here… good ole auto response I guess

A very nice hotel with a large indoor pool, great dining facility, and comfortable suites The location of Bethesda Embassy Suites makes it extremely convenient for going to DC, northern Virginia, and Maryland locationsI especially appreciated the friendly and courteous staff, who started my day with a cheerful smile and a wonderful breakfast

They continued this as they greeted my return and supported my requests A Manager’s reception in the early evening helped ease the stress of the day or provided a change to help one wind downThe experience I had was shared by the hundreds of guests that were there at the same time I was I saw the staff interact with everyone in the same manner and you know the had equally comfortable and clean roomsSo come and stay at one of the DC area’s best hotels You’ll enjoy it, I’m certain

We stayed at Embassy suites because my husband had to have facial reconstruction We had to stay 5 nights The location was great, close to the medical facility

The room was comfortable Berta, at the front desk, was very kind and helpful She was exceptional at her job, all of the staff seemed very good at whatever job they did The breakfast was wonderful, the breakfast team was AMAZING We are very pleased with our recent stay

Javier Mejia

Positives: Big and comfortable rooms, enough set of towels The breakfast offered is pretty good There is a good food variety and the products offer are of high quality

The room also had a good viewNegatives: The first night I had to kill a spider, and I didn’t had soap for my hands I also had to tell them twice to send a housekeeper to do room service

The staff is really, really nice!! Easy to get to by public transit— you can call their shuttle to get you from the metro, but it only runs on weekends right now bc of the pandemic It’s about a mile walk in an easy flat area if you don’t have too much luggage or it’s a nice day Beds are super comfy and the showers are great

The toiletries provided are lightly scented and smell great! The rooms are kind of dark at night which I don’t really like, but they are otherwise great Nice and clean The light switches are all electronic buttons which might take you a few minutes to work out but once you get the hang of it it’s kinda nifty The pool and gym are solid and the conference amenities are very attractive as well I haven’t been to the spa myself but a friend got her nails done there and had a great experience The bar is wonderful, though the beer selection is pretty smallThey make a great bloody mary!

Jenny Terry

I loved my stay here! Beautiful hotel with an amazing view Conveniently located just steps from the University of Maryland The staff was nice, the room was immaculate, and the bed was so comfortable

If you are planning a trip to DC this is a great option just outside the district but is located near the metro line I really enjoyed my stay here and hope to visit again

Janna Chan

I have stayed at the University of Maryland Hotel several times over the past few yearsThe rates are good and the service is excellent The staff is very friendly

I wish that some of the rooms had bath tubs instead of just showers but that’s a minor issueThe two restaurants right next to the premises, a pizza place and a bagel place, are excellent and reasonably pricedObviously this location makes sense if you’re doing something at the University of Maryland However, it’s a very clean and professional outfit for anyone staying in the DC area in general

Great location and amenities Morton’s is one of my favorites, and they are located in many nice hotels like this one Make sure you visit on the evening

Our tour had breakfast arrangements, missed the eggs on the last two mornings of the trip To their credit, staff was kind, attentive and accommodating Starbucks in the house too (for those Cafe lovers like us) Safe “business” area, and parking is just around the corner Modern feel with plenty to do around the hotel

Eva S

It’s a good business hotel, quiet standard, could be any brand really Pros and cons below:PROS:Large spacious room with nice expansive views onto the main street, gets good light during the day Comfy bed

There’s a desk to work at if need be Nice staff at the hotel, very accommodating and caring Very clean, good observation of covid rules etc Food served during the event was good too, tasty, good temperature- I recommend the current kitchen staff can certainly cater for breakfast tooAreas to IMPROVE:No breakfast, no pool/spa; the air in the hotel was so dry most event delegates were complaining about difficulty to sleep at night, myself included – I strongly recommend to get lots and lots of green plants, maybe install some air humidifiers for the winter months The shower head was full of limescale – need to check those details and replace Maybe add a picture(s) in the room, some softer interior details – interior now looks so sterile, plain

Mitch Grussing

We visited DC for leisure, and we felt that this hotel was the perfect balance of convenience, comfort, and value Driving in from out of town, it was easy to get to this hotel by car, and the Metro stop made it easy to get to all the big sights around the capital Our rooms were clean and nice, and the bed was comfortable

Yes, you have to pay for breakfast here, but there are tons of options nearby, including several in the lobby I was perfectly happy with Starbucks and Dunkin; my husband and his parents sought fancier eats in the morning The only bummer was that there’s no pool and hot tub But still I’d give the place a full five stars because we were truly satisfied with this hotel

On our recent trip from Australia we stayed here for one night Unfortunately our room was very unclean Upon discovering pubic hairs in the bathroom floor and soap dispenser we were in shock

After driving 10+ hours and arriving late, we didn’t want to go elsewhere So we pulled back the sheets in both beds only to be further shocked by more hair We moved rooms but then further disappointed by no mention or apology for what we found Won’t be going Marriott ever again

I’m allergic to feathers, feather free room is listed in my profile when I checked in I asked at the front desk if the room was feather free? I was rudely told I “I saw it on your profile” I put my bags in the room and when I returned late that evening decided I better check the pillows When I did I discovered feather pillows

This seems to be a systemic problem at Marriott properties I have addressed it through their customer service, heard nothing At one hotel I had an allergic reaction causing me to take Benadryl to stop the reaction which left me tired for my only day in a national park an incident report was filled out and I was assured i would hear from a manager I didn’t and after a week I wrote a review then I finally heard from someone I also filled out an incident report and was told that I would hear from a manager before I checked out Nothing, it’s been a month Since then I always check before I use the pillows Problems happen it’s how you handle them that counts!!

Overall my stay was enjoyable The College Park Holiday Inn was located in a great area not to far off I-95 Ext

on Ikea Way and yes it shares a parking lot with Ikea The hotel has a Bar and Restaurant both reasonably priced Their breakfast buffet is very fulfilling and kids eat free That was a plus! Although I didn’t get a opportunity to use the pool, they did have a indoor pool in Tower One The staff were all very friendly My room was clean as well I definitely recommend this as a place to stay when visiting the area

Kala Twigg

Front desk staff were kind & tried to help as much as they could But this hotel is disgusting Not clean

Whole first tower smells like water damage My lungs & throat have been killing me Was contemplating staying extra days Definitely not now Moved rooms because the first definitely smelled of animals Children were complaining of that And water damage The elevators smell like urination And there is dust & dirt in every crevice Not to mention a very strange encounter at “free breakfast” which we wound up paying for I will be beyond grateful to be HOME (We originally wanted to stay at Hilton… it was having some Reno issues so they suggested we shop nearby, sad this is where we chose) Id venture to say the water/sprinkler system went off multiple times at some points in the past The carpets reek of water/mildew Convenient to the highway But … save your money people Drive elsewhere

Dan Royea

I really enjoyed my stay here Staff was very friendly and helpful Hotel was very clean no matter what area I was in, either my room, at the pool and in the elevator

I really enjoyed the color changing water wall (be sure to check it out) And this is the first hotel I’ve been to that has a doorbell for every room How cool is that? Plus the ring around the button changes red for do not disturb (also shuts off doorbell function) and green if you want your room cleaned Nice indoor pool Also has a nice restaurant/bar Outside was just as clean as the inside was It’s 30 minutes from the White House and 20 minutes away from the airport I highly recommend staying here if your in the area

As a marriott platinum member, I was treated no better than other customers or even worse Was there ona business trip and the room charges supposed to be charged to the company credit card instead of mine However, they charged everything to my card although the company already authorized for all the charges to be put on their card

When I reached out to them they were not helpful or responsible Customer specialist Juliana James did not respond to my email after several attempts Definitely did not expect this kind of service and this is very disappointing for a Marriott brand

Nice place, excellent location with lots to do – you can easily walk to Dave & Busters arcade, go see a movie, or visit the bookstore and Target Sheets and room smelled very clean!We left a whole bag of kid’s stuff that included an AC adapter to a Nintendo

I’ve stayed at Courtyard by Marriott Gaithersburg a few times during the pandemic It is located in the heart of Washingtonian Rio and is a short walk to the movie theater, restaurants, and shops They have a small parking lot to the side of the hotel for guest registration and unloading

Additional parking is available in the retail parking garages The check-in and check-out process was smooth When I checked in, they told me about their weeknight happy hour from 5-10pm with discount on beer and wine and handed me a small flyer with guest information about their bistro, fitness center, housekeeping, and parking If theyoffered complimentary coffee and tea throughout the day and night to guests and two complimentary water bottles to their Elite rewards members, I’d give them 5 starsThe bistro located on the 2nd floor serves basic Starbucks drinks, breakfast, and dinner For breakfast, they have the following items: Two Egg Omelet, Eggs Your Way, Bistro Breakfast Sandwich, Balanced Breakfast Sandwich, Breakfast Burrito, and Classic Oatmeal For dinner, they may have the following items: Avocado Lemon Yogurt Dip, Caesar Salad, Margherita Flatbread, Loaded Tot – Chos, and Grilled Chicken & Bacon QuesadillaDuring my stay, I had breakfast at their bistro I had a Two Egg Omelet made with egg whites, gruyere, and caramelized onions It was served with crispy herb potatoes and ketchup and dressed with lemon EVOO It was deliciousMy room (including the bathroom) was clean, spacious, and great view of the Rio lakefront In terms of toiletries, they provided makeup wipe, facial bar, body wash, shampoo and conditioner I liked how the showers were hot The bed and sofa bed were super comfy My only complaint was the walls aren’t very insulated – you can hear conversations, opening and closing of doors, nature, and motor vehicles

What makes them stand out is their customer service— especially from Andrew!

I enjoyed my experience at this hotelThe location itself is what sold me

I was looking for staycation to just enjoy myself and this was perfect!The hotel is surrounded by shops and good eats all in walking distance There is also a restaurant inside of the hotelThe space was clean and modern and aesthetically pleasing to the eye The staff was also kind and helpfulI would recommend!

The only reason for the 4 star is parking and no attendant to watch my bags while I went around the corner to the garage It is not attached to the hotel and my bags were not light! Having said that, I loved the room and the location Pike & Rose has lots of restaurants and shops, and the metro is not far

Very reasonably priced My view was “Bark Social,” dog park, so I was entertained every time I opened my drapes! I will stay here again with my luggage on wheels!

I had a 2 night stay here last week and I was greeted by Mia who was a very friendly and informative employee She even offered to look up restaurants/closest wine stores nearby for me when I inquired I really appreciated the kindness upon arriving

My room was very clean and and modern and the shades made the room dark for sleeping The only issue I had were some very noisy neighbors around midnight which lasted until around 1:30, which sounded like they were moving furniture around for 45 minutes and banging on the walls, but that is not the hotel’s fault I enjoyed the breakfast and always available coffee/tea in the lobby as well I was going into DC and the Greenbelt Metro station was a 10 minute drive from the hotel, which was very convenient also I look forward to staying here again the future

I always travel for work and always stay here when I’m in town It’s one of the cleanest and best 3 star hotels I’ve stayed in It’s always extremely comfortable and is a good location and everything is up to date and new

Only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is the noise at night if you’re on the highway side of the building I’m in my 20s and never have issues sleeping even with noise but even this was a little much for me Other than that I would recommend this hotel everytime

Andrew K

Staff was excellent! I’m sorry I can’t give 5 stars on this alone and separate it from the Hotels location! A crowd of “youths” in and around the lobby as I’m checking in after midnight And on the street in and around the Hotel there was rambunctious activity and even fighting that had local police intervention! Great stuff when you’re trying to sleep And not just for a minute or two, this went on for hours! I expect more from a Hilton!And oh, the water dripping out of the shower, basically made it useless was the kicker! Unacceptable! Otherwise the room was spotless and nice, very clean! Again, staff was wonderful and I felt sorry for them having to deal with the trouble there

I had my room canceled at another hotel and had to drive to this hotel When I arrived for an early check in, the front desk clerk (Mr Addy I believe) did an exceptional job easing my check in process

He made sure (on his own) that I had an available room and my wife and daughter was able to get some needed rest Great hotel to stay in and when I am back in town again, I know where I will be stayingBest

For a Sheraton it is not very clean The towels were not very clean But for the price it’s not bad

I paid for breakfast for four days and I only went one day I ordered two egg tortillas and they were fried in butter, but they seemed like they were drowned in that oil I really liked the location, it looks very quiet and is next to some very nice apartments

First things first, they need to remove the pool as an amenity on their booking sites When we arrived, we inquired about the pool and the host stated it was closed due to covid How could that be when the gym was open 24/7? Gym is really small but has enough quipment do get a decent workour

We stayed in a room on the 5th floor Decent size Lacks modern upgrades such as usb charging or just plain outlets at the nightstands Other than that, everything was fine The food laid out in the morning near the elevators were great They have onsite laundry services and also free parking I’d stay there again

We stayed here for two weeks while our home was being remodeled The location was perfect for us We booked two rooms as my husband and I both work remotely and had our double monitors set up in each room

The desk/chair was comfortable for working 10+ hrs/day The internet was fast and reliableThere is no kitchen but there are plenty of eating options just steps from the hotel There is a microwave and a small fridge The free coffee in the lobby was pretty good too!Our kids enjoyed the indoor pool as a treat and we made use of the fitness centerThe breakfast is cooked to order and served I would have rather full self service because it took a long time in the mornings, but it was good The food was fresh, especially the fruitsEveryone was friendly and the accommodations were comfortable overall It is not easy to live/work out of a hotel with small kids, we made the best of it and this turned out to be a great option

Shujie Dong

The hotel looks great from outside, bedroom clean and big Unfortunately, The bathroom smell of Urine When speaking to the staff who insisted that all rooms cleaned very well and she didn’t smell it and she stated she had a good nose

The front desk staff is professional but I cannot feel her warmthOther than that the hotel cafe’ staff is very friendly, look forward to switching to a different room this afternoon

This hotel looks clean and modern, but that’s where the comfort ends Every expense was spared in the comfort of this hotelI’m sure they could have found a firmer substance for the bed

Maybe concrete, but even that may have been an improvement, at least springs wouldn’t have been stabbing at me all nightThe pillows are feather, but broken down horribly I would like to think it’s from washing them so often, but they weigh a ton for a feather pillow, which means they’re probably full of dust mites from years of useIt was clean, but I probably would have gotten a better nights sleep in the truck Spend your money somewhere else

the inside was redone recently and is very nice The outside is a bit of a deterrent If I was driving by I would not go in

But once in the door the lobby, room, and amenities are really nice The service at the Coffee Bar was perfect The woman that served us was Awesome and not to mention we left at 11pm and returned at 8am and she was back!!!! What dedication

I feel for the most part that Courtyard in itself just kind of rides off the Marriott name and this one is no exceptionPRO’s – The hotel main floor is very clean, has ample lounge spots and overall very inviting The inside fireplace is very nice and welcoming

The little store off from the front desk is super convenient (also ridiculously expensive) The rooms have been updated(ish) with comfortable beds, new sofas, carpet yet out of place looking furniture with an early 90s persona Room service was great and they replenish with more than enough towelsCONS – The Bistro in the morning is the worst Bistro of all the Marriotts I’ve been to in the last ten years and I’ve been to ALOT The Bistro “opens” at 6:30a through the week and my rewards include free breakfast everyday Would’ve been awesome if someone was actually there at 6:30 and ready to serve Nope 6:40? Nope! Half the time closer to 7am and the poor guy from the front desk has to come over there and do the Bistro employees job BECAUSE THEY DONT SHOW UP ON TIME, CONSISTENTLY!! The food is also way overpriced for what you get, I mean…over $4 for a small bottle of water? Is this hotel THAT broke? Front desk guy needs a raise as he was doing everyone’s job most mornings, by himself The floor hallways are very long and creepy as in new carpet yet odd looking wood doors out of the 80s The keyless cards don’t work half of the time The toilet takes five flushes just to get a piece of toilet paper to actually go down Water pressure is horrible and takes ten minutes to try and get all the soap off you in the shower Undersized room TVs and only two USB ports in the whole room and those two are on top of the alarm clock The outside of the hotel is cringe and unwelcoming The grounds need major focus and look overall unkempt Killed multiple spiders in the room throughout my stay The pillows are way to flat and unsupportive Took all five of them together just to make one good one that kept my neck straight One washer and one dryer for the entire hotel that look like the first whirlpools ever invented and did not wash nor dry good at all Stairwell carpets are stained and you aren’t sure if you’re climbing stairs in a state prison or a hospitalOverall, the lobby felt more like a Marriott while everything else felt like a nice Motel 6 If you’re passing through for the night and traveling alone than this will suffice but don’t expect much because the hotel just doesn’t offer much and the staff is just kinda “there” I will most definitely not be staying with this hotel again and will not book it for any of my employees going forward

This was very pleasant place to stay The breakfast spread was extremely impressive The staff was very nice and my favorite part was that the rooms were definitely clean

The bad thing is vending machines take quarters only along with laundry Reception desk has quarters Elevator smelled like smoke but truthfully none of those mattered to me because our room was SPOTLESS Sheets were clean and comforter were comfy Pillows too

Ben Maddox

Platinum Tier customer service encompassing a very enjoyable experience The employees here are friendly, courteous, and professional! Breakfast is phenomenal! Beautiful park on site is wonderfully filled with fresh air, green grass, and a lovely pavilion for an outdoor meditation spot! I also highly recommend walking over to Minerva for some of the best comfort food I’ve had in years, take your card from the front desk and you will have 10% off your meal! I am very pleased with my visit and am looking forward very much to my return stay shortly!

Terry Guers

Stayed one Saturday night The price was $70 less expensive than a similar type national brand hotel nearby The room was fine and the AC was adjustable and responsive which was important since the outside temp was 92

The morning breakfast provided a nice selection and the breakfast room was good sized Free parking Only negative was an additional, small charge not listed in the reservation because the room had a safe To enter the highway when leaving the hotel, you must turn right There is a gas station conveniently located right beside the hotel
