STEER CLEAR!….
Front desk “service” was terrible. The manager Ebony lied about having CLC availability (corporate paid lodging) due to a personal issue she seemed to have with me when I kept having to get help with billing. Facility is old and dirty with poor service. Breakfast and bar service was good though. Overall…steer clear!

The location is very good for our needs. It was decently clean, not great. Our non-smoking room had definitely been smoked in, but it wasn’t horrible. I would not eat breakfast there, but the room was decently clean.
