I had only two problems when I arrived in my room, (1) my tv was on one channel and (2) I didn't have two lamps were missing the bulbs. Went to the front desk and the gentleman who was working was very polite and very professional took care of the problem with no problem. My stay was July 1st - July 3rd 2022. No noise very quiet.

My most recent visit was horrible! (August 4th-7th 2025) I was in town for my brother's funeral, and I booked 2 rooms. The clerk put in the wrong dates for the second room, my cousin ended up getting locked out, and the night clerk refused to help us or at least allow him to get his belongings. My room was FILTHY AND ROACH INFESTED! I spent all night each night battling roaches and the management refused to give a refund!!! PLEASE SEE THE PICS I TOOK FOR YOU ALL!! This post was years ago things have changed terribly: (Ms. Arlisa... I thank you for such a pleasant stay and your staff was spectacular! The room was very clean, the shower comfortably hot, and the beds were like clouds! We will be back!!)

Outstanding customer service. Literally went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable. We got really lucky finding an open room coming from Florida and it was even better with the way they treated us. We only have the room for the night, but if available we will stay til Tuesday without question. This hotel really stands out as a goto when in town. Couldn't be happier.
