I'm staying here again
I never go online to write reviews about anything. However, after reading so many unfavorable reviews, before my recent stay, I decided to respond. The staff of this hotel went out of their way to say hello and good morning. They laughed and joked and were very attentive to the needs of the hotel and guests. The continental breakfast was great! One staff member even heard the coffee carafe make the empty noise and immediately commented that she was going to go make fresh coffee! The hotel appeared clean and tidy, and my room was also. We stayed in a non-smoking room and didn't have any problems with allergies. Could the bathroom use a really good scrub and maybe a remodel? Sure, but don't they all? The point is... it was clean. I felt comfortable in my room and even after returning home, my bag and clothes did not linger with "the hotel smell"... as in, there wasn't one! The towels were new (and white:). I also really liked the location. It appears to be in a nice, well traveled area near a grocery store, subway, jason's deli, and olive garden. The hotel is tucked back between Sonic Drive Thru and Days Inn, and it felt very safe. The parking lot was well lit, and there was even a pool (small) perfect for families with kids. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to travelers! We traveled from Louisiana to shop at IKEA, and this hotel is about 5 minutes away, and the perfect price! Next time maybe I will bring my dogs, because this hotel is also pet friendly!
