The hotel was the only option in the area I needed, close to Target, Panera, and Perkins. The rooms were small and crowded, filthy from the check-in desk to the hallway. However, the staff were friendly and willing to help, despite being moved to a back room during check-in.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was quite convenient, close to various restaurants and shops, but the rooms had some issues with cleanliness and unpleasant odors. The service was friendly overall, but there were some hiccups with room changes and refunds. The dining options left something to be desired, with limited choices and disappointing experiences. Despite some drawbacks, the facilities were decently maintained.
