The parking lot was being black topped and it limited parking and convenience. The breakfast was very tasty with lots of choices! Their coffee was great but cups are small. Many people used more than one cup instead of refilling. Seems they would save money if they offered a larger cup choice. Pool was looking bad and outside grounds were needing some TLC

Everything was great. Only hassle was the 3rd floor elevator call button did not work, so we had to go to a lower floor to get the elevator up. We have kids and a dog, so it was a bit much. But things happen, so we managed. It was a great place and would stay again

Check in was great! Room was clean and spacious! Phone in the room did not work, pool water was dirty and murky. Breakfast was mediocre at best. Hotel was in a good location off of access road. Had to complain to the front desk about a couple fighting at the pool yelling and using profanity in front of children. Then we were kept awake until after 1am from the people in the room above ours where it sounded like they were river dancing.

The floor was sticky (which I assume mopped iwth a dirty mop). Overall, even the elevators were dirty with old liquid spills on the wall and elevator door. One of the TV remotes were very dirty and sticky. Would not stay there again. My apologies for sounding so negative, but you need to know for improvement purposes.

PLEASE BE AWARE!!!!! The outside of the facility looked nice and the front lobby was clean and smelled good. I was given a room on the first floor. While walking to the room #123 I see filthy carpets and this weird smell in the hallway. I was like oh boy here we go mind you I have two nights here. Once I opened the room door this funky smell hit me in the face. The carpet was filthy. I bought glade plug ins which helped with the smell. I went ahead and stayed. The next morning I wake up to a roach and a beetle crawling up the wall, a centipede crawling along the carpet in a corner. So this caused me to check other things. The curtains were old and dirty with bugs in the inside of the seam and you couldn't really close them all the way. Holy moly inside the ac unit was packed with dead bugs. After this I went to talk to someone at the front desk and this is when I decided to just checkout because I had enough. The guy had a slight attitude when I explained the situation and showed him pictures. I didn't not want to try another room at this place. I'm not trying to take any critters back home with me. The positive thing out of this situation was only being charged for the night I stayed. I will NEVER EVER, EVER, EVER stay at this place again.

Hotel was convenient, but overall poor quality. There was a smell of sour, dampness, and uncleanliness throughout. The carpet in the hallways and our room looked and felt dirty. The place would be better suited if it was ripped out and replaced with hard flooring. We explained this to the front desk.

The hotel itself seemed new but it’s not. It used to be a Best Western and it’s been refurbished. Prior to staying I read the reviews about the noise from the highway and figured people were being picky. Well, they were not! I’m not sure why the noise was so loud and profound but it was. It made sleeping a challenge. The staff were so nice that I’m sure if I’d asked for a room that was further away from the hotel they would have gladly accommodated me. I didn’t bother since I was only there shortly. The ironing board was horribly rusted and we had a very hard time putting it down after using it. The television remote had a mind of its own because all it took was a slight bump and it turned the tv completely off. If we picked it up to change the channel it would shut off the minute we touched it. Weird. Outside of these issues we appreciated the hotel cleanliness and although I didn’t indulge they do provide fresh baked cookies at no charge.

The room and hallway smelled like dirty carpet. The toilet made a very loud screeching sound that was only resolved by turning the water to the bowl off but then you couldn’t flush. The room was right on the highway with multiple big lights from the parking lot and only sheer curtains…no way to block the light. The highway sounds were fairly significant as well. I wouldn’t stay here if there was another option.

The air conditioning in the room when we got there was struggling but the front desk person Keith was willing to move us to another room if we needed to. We decided to wait it out and the room did cool down quite a bit. We were happy we waited, the downfall was the TV and the remote control wouldn’t change channels except by tens, and that was really strange and the bed was rock hard and would not move.

I dont believe the hotel has been there very long but you can see dirty carpet and wear and tear. Not too bad. There is a lot of construction and oilfield clientele so It was a little dirty. Overall not too bad. Really wish they had stayed out of my room as requested. Dont leave anything valuable in the room.

The property was okay. Lots of standing around in the parking lot. The room was fine however the guests in room next to us played loud music that vibrated the walls. Called down at 10 and asked to turn down which they did. They started it back up at midnight. Called again after about 20 min. Then at 2:15 fired it back up again. Waited 30 min and called again. Was told they had same right as me because they paid for their room also but they would ask them to turn it down. Will not stay again.

I was in line to get breakfast at 0700 all the eggs and bacon had been taken, was none in the containers and was told by the lady working the front desk once the item is gone they do not refill. As I was leaving the hotel to check out I notice the person working the kitchen was in fact refilling the containers consisting of eggs and bacon. The lady working the desk does not know how the hotel kitchen runs and tells the guess wrong information, Due to her attitude towards me I will never stay at this hotel.
