Although the staff was friendly and the reception area looked inviting, do not be deceived. I thought the location and price were great so decided not to check on rates at the Drury Inn across the street. We sure which we had. The building with the rooms has NOT been renovated like the reception building has. We requested a non-smoking room, but you'd have to hold your breath climbing the stairs and going through the hall with the smoke smell as strong as it was. I was actually worried that we'd be charged for smoking in our room since the smell would drift in each time we opened our door. The water faucets were backwards and it took us running water awhile to figure that out. The bed was awful, so we thought we'd switch to the sofa bed, but there were no linens on it. The curtain not only didn't reach together, but had nothing to open or close it except grabbing the curtain, which was difficult considering it was behind the sofa. Lighting terrible, carpet questionable, and we never could get fresh air to come through the a/c unit. Spend a few more dollars and go elsewhere.
