Breakfast was OK. Ran out of coffee.
TV in first room did not work. It was obviously a known issue but we were assigned the room anyway. Front desk did a good job of getting us into a different room.

It was adequate.
One of the 3 days there were no eggs or sausage, another day no cream for the coffee and no plates only bowls. The beds were hard. Felt like it was a bit run down.

I am a weekly customer, under contract for providing consulting services to a firm located in Johnston.
The Key Card System at this facility sucks. My Key Cards have become inactive at least weekly. This is hugely inconvenient.
The Key Card System. Sometimes my room did not get made or totally cleaned, that sucked too.

Clean, comfortable, quiet room! Nice that the shower faucet was normal, not one of those weird hotel faucets. Water quality was great--NO BLEACH!!! Also great to just log into public hotel WiFi--no passwords or advertisements. Staff was friendly and welcoming when I rolled in on Christmas afternoon!
It would have been nice to have a slip-resistant shower and the shower curtain was a hair too narrow. Handicapped handle was loose (perhaps due to the shower floor being slick). Keycard had to be re-programmed. Nice to see biscuits and gravy and eggs on the breakfast bar, but some sausage would have been good, as well as unsweetened iced tea (not everyone drinks coffee). More food options for diabetics would be appreciated.

conveniently located near the interstate. good breakfast
I paid for a king sized bed and got a queen. when I asked about it they said there were no more kings available. I had made the reservation hours before we got there. the tv didn’t work but they came and got it working. we then couldn’t turn it off. very loud with people yelling across the hallway and running up and down.

it seems old, and what you’d expect for the price.
4.0 / 10.0
location was nice, pool was nice
night/evening staff were rude, would not allow a group of parents to sit in lobby and socialize after event, very nasty about it. same breakfast every morning, locks busted off room doors, looks like someone poorly attempted a remodel.. bad job with metal pieces sticking out of flooring. could have been cleaner and more friendly.

Location
Room smelled like mildew. Bathroom sink fawcets were so loose that the entire fawcet could be moved. The breakfast was awful…the back of the fridge was covered in ice and the peeled boiled eggs were frozen to the container it was stored in. The coffee was unmarked and there was no way of telling what was decaf or regular

Eggs were hot and freshly cooked at breakfast... Room was nice...
Hard to get into and out of property during times of high traffic. Six or seven workers sitting around outside the front doors smoking when we arrived. Front desk could not get paperwork to print so check-in took a LONG time. Breakfast had no meat, no coffee creamer...
