Greenstay Hotel & Suites
The room was clean and fresh and the furnishings appear in good condition. Everything worked. The staff is pleasant and efficient. The property exterior is showing some wear and is not as well maintained as in the past. The pool looked well maintained. I noticed they no longer provide different bins ...

Nice room, but smelled a little musty. Easy to park car. Plenty of restaurants close by.Breakfast was good. Lots of people hanging around the parking lot in front smoking. It appeared that some people were living in the hotel.
