Nice areas outside the hotel to walk your four-legged friends. Clean and tidy rooms. Breakfast was a little light on selections of hot/warm items. Pet-Friendly with costs (add-ons) for each pet not included when booking, be sure to have it included before you arrive. We enjoyed the stay!!!

My husband, pup, and I stayed 2 nights in a pet friendly room which conveniently is on the first floor with a door going directly outside from our room. No carpeted floors which I loved. Room was clean (and I am that girl that cleans with disinfectant wipes). Bed and pillows were very comfortable. All staff we encountered were wonderful. Breakfast is simple, but still great to have in addition to a modest room rate. We would definitely stay here again.

I arrived past midnight. I needed a hotel close to the airport, and convenient, which also allowed for late checkins. This was exactly it. Getting there was easy, parking was convenient, someone was immediately available to check me in. The room was quiet, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast was nice too.

Dirty rooms, sketchy people drinking in the parking lot, very very outdated. Not much offered at breakfast, which was expected but not like this was. Staff was friendly, that I will say. They seem to be doing their best, but the property owner needs to sink some money into that place and get the creepy people drinking and partying in the parking lot out of there. Now I know it’s not expected to be some fancy place, but this was bad.

Rooms

Recently renovated, simple rooms with hard-surface floors; some suites are spacious. Comfort varies due to hard or sagging coil mattresses, occasional noise or temperature-control quirks, and a few reports of outdated TVs or spotty Wi‑Fi.

The guy at the front desk was amazing. So nice and helpful. The room itself is nice, but no coffee maker. That surprised me. And then the bed. I remember as a kid having a bed where the mattress was parked on top of bedsprings. It was noisy getting in and out of bed. The bed here is all of that and worse. Every time you move, it's so loud it wakes you up. Thankfully, I'm not a restless sleeper, but still . . . this bed needs replacement.

The room was like brand new- clean and comfortable, 100% updated with comfy bedding, fully equipped bathroom, TV, fridge, etc. Public spaces were clean and up to date too. Breakfast buffet has plenty of good choices! Very nice and more convenient than farther south for accessing campus and downtown.

We had stayed in three different places three nights and if this room would have been our 1st I would have stayed all 3 nights! Pergo floors in the room, easy cleaning. Air purifiers in the halls. Clean room and great price. Adequate breakfast. Staff was efficient and friendly. You can tell the rooms have been kept updated. Bed sagged to the middle but was comfortable. Overall a great experience for the price

A bare-bones motel in kind of nowhere but surprisingly very clean with pretty comfy beds. Breakfast was basically cereal, toast, yogurt. What was kind of strange was instead of having front desk clerk there was a machine with a virtual employee from the Philippines on a monitor. Clearly they don’t want to pay more than $4 for staff so they outsourced the front desk to the Philippines. I didn’t like that. That is where they lost 2 stars.

The word ‘Econo’ had me a tad bit concerned at first and it’s by no means a 5 star hotel but honestly it’s clean, the staff was friendly and it checked off the boxes we needed. The vanity light above the sink in the 1st room we went to didn’t work but Amish immediately switched us to another that was very close - so very easy to move our things. Check in and out was very easy and they supplied 24 hour coffee along with a hot continental breakfast…we would absolutely stay here again without hesitation.

Staff is very friendly. Our room was clean but smelled like an old ashtray, the shower curtain is falling apart from the top and the shower curtain rod is falling out of the wall. We opened the window to air it out but it didn't help. Don't count on breakfast. The breakfast options are terrible, no protein other than sugar filled low protein yogurt and sugar and oil filled Jif peanut butter. Other than apples and bananas all of the breakfast choices are over processed and sugar filled junk. Not even hard boiled eggs are offered. Even bananas would be a welcome addition.

It looked to be renovated nicely. I appreciated the fact there was not carpet on the floor, but rather tile. What I did not like was the dining area and the options available (which could be because of the dining area). It definitely is not made for groups, which I was a part of the second night of the stay. Overall I would give this hotel a thumbs up for the renovations that were made. Also the young man at the desk when I checked our group in was very helpful and pleasant (I believe the lady in the morning said his name was Cole?)
