My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms had a strong smell of cigarette smoke, and it seemed like housekeeping missed some areas; however, the staff was accommodating when we needed to change rooms. The location was convenient for our needs, but the dining experience was not up to par with limited breakfast options.

Unfortunately, my stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. The room reeked of cigarette smoke at first, and the manager was incredibly rude and unhelpful when we requested a refund for the first night. However, the room did have a good shower and a small microwave, which was a plus in an otherwise unpleasant experience.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had not been taken care of by housekeeping and had a terrible smell, giving a roach motel vibe. The power outlets were also in less than perfect condition. The lady at the front desk was rude about my diabetic alert dog, but the rest of the service was exceptional. The location was convenient for my needs, but lacked in activities outside of my main purpose for the trip. The dining experience was minimal, more like a snack, and the price seemed high for what was offered.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient for a quick stopover before heading towards Detroit, with easy access right off the freeway, but I encountered some issues with the room and service. The breakfast was underwhelming, offering only basic items, and there were some concerns with the cleanliness of the beds. However, the quick access to nearby gas stations and eateries added some convenience to the stay.

The hotel has good-sized rooms that were left in less than perfect condition, but they looked nothing like the pictures. While it was like pulling teeth to get rooms changed, the location is great for accessibility to downtown Howell. The dining experience was more like a snack with basic offerings. Service was friendly but had some issues with personnel's knowledge and room changes.
