This was a nice room and a great price. The staff made me feel so welcomed and accommodated all my unnecessary needs which arose. My stayover process was easily accommodated and no price gouging!!! The building is in process of upgrade which is expected ; yet room quiet and I was never disturbed. The breakfast was sufficiently nutritional and the coffee is great ( same in room)I will definitely stay again. PS Festive decor also per holiday was nice and inviting!
This place is exactly how all of the other places should be, fair to the customers! Good prices,they don't overcharge on the weekends, and its clean! Staff is definitely helpful. Will definitely stay here again when im in the area
I absolutely loved my stay here. I stayed for 2 weeks. The staff is absolutely amazing here! My room was very clean and tidy. Housekeeping checked on me frequently. The front desk employee is extremely pleasant an was a delight to converse with. They serve breakfast that was available everyday. I will definitely be back.
It’s an older hotel, but it’s well maintained. The room was clean, and the staff was nice
I stay at boarders all the time! It has fair pricing. I love the location because its within walking distance of everything. The rooms are always clean. The staff is always super friendly, accomodating to early check ins, and I'm not a huge morning person so my FAVORITE part is that chelsea at the front desk always lets me get a little extra sleep and lets me get a late check out.
The improvement this hotel has made is magnificent now with the new owners!! Love my stay here staff very nice smooth easy checkin great prices!
I'll explain the 5stars. The hospitality here is great, Nancy the receptionist is just so sweet and she's new here. I felt like she's a pro by many years. She's got excellent people skills and she's a great conversationalist. Maida is another receptionist that works here and she's so sweet and kind just a great person and always helpful. Chelsea is just wonderful. She's got that mom attitude that you can see a mile away and you just know you'd enjoy your stay just by the way she cares and is full of compassion. Thank you all that made my stay here wonderful. Not to even mention the clean rooms and quiet hallways. And for the price, hell yeah I'll be back again and again. Thanks team
I very rarely leave reviews, however, this is one business that is most deserving of one! Chelsea went out of her way in the morning to go out to the convenience store and get the milk that was needed for the cereal this morning! Talk about above and beyond! Nancy was very friendly and outgoing as well after I told her I had left the shower on and while I was watching the game and partially getting my clothes ready for a shower. I had flooded the bathroom floor. She was quick to provide extra towels to dry up water all over the floor. I would most definitely stay here again if I'm in the area! TEXAS TRUCKER
