Stayed 1 night

We stayed one night. Booked two rooms. Three adult. The location was good for attending events and many options for dining. Appears to have been recently remodeled and has updates like tile flooring by the sink and bathroom. Had a nice large high definition TV with several options. Had a working refrigerator and microwave. The room had a comfortable king bed. Overall very clean. The first room we had the a/c wasn't cooling so we called and maintenance immediately came up. Checked it and agreed it wasn't cooling. We moved next door and the room was good except no hair dryer. We called and maintenance immediately came up and installed one. There were no pictures on the walls and no chair or small table. A desk and rolling chair were in the room. No luggage rack holder so we used the top of the desk. No coffee except in the lobby. Staff we met were prompt, kind and friendly. Reasonably priced. Would stay again.

Took 40 minutes to check in. Then charged me a $100 deposit. When I got my deposit back it took another 30 minutes. The sidewalks were busted, lots of people hanging out outside.

What keeps me coming back to this hotel are the comfortable beds. I can sleep and get up without stiffness or pain. It’s also near many eating places that you can walk to. It’s easy to get back onto the interstate. We didn't hear the people next door, so the walls must be well insulated. The front counter people we were in contact with were very nice and funny. The only thing I didn’t like was no ice was available, the machine was broken. Hopefully they fix it. But there is a microwave and small fridge in the room so I just put our water into the fridge. It got cold enough. I like this motel.

Stayed 1 night & reserved online same day. For the money, this place is great, clean, quiet, room didn't have bad smell, but definitely in need of update. Water was hot, TV great, & bed was bug free. Elevator convenient to the room. Many workers & truckers stay here but that didn't affect my stay. There's no smoking in rooms, so saw several people sitting outside in doorways smoking(following the rules). Would stay here again.

Once apon a time this was a decent clean hotel to get a good nights rest. However it has now become a roach infested, bad customer service, plain out nasty spot. I won’t go into great details but I will post pics. Stay at your own risk.

The area outside is clean easy accessible to the highway. I noticed a lot of truckers coming through. The room was as pictured EXCEPT the beds I requested 2 Queen size room & upon arrival it was 2 full size beds. When I went to the front desk the insisted it was a queen although I have one of my own and it is impossible. After speaking with the manager there are no Queen size available and was unable to differ in price because I purchased on Expedia. Overall I would say a 6/10 experience only because we only showered & slept didn't stay in the hotel all day long.

Room was very clean and bed and linens were super comfortable. Fridge and microwave, hopefully next time they have a coffee maker in the room. They have coffee (including decaf), hot water for tea and juices at front desk. There's an area that used to be for breakfast but got closed during covid. It would be perfect if they open it again. Overall, will go back. It is very nice and accesible to everything.

I stayed at this hotel for one night, and it was a pleasant experience. The check-in process was easy, and the receptionist provided the room I requested. The staff were nice, helpful, and always had a smile. I locked myself out multiple times, and they were happy to assist me each time. When my key stopped working, they promptly sent a maintenance guy who fixed it right away. The location is convenient, and the hotel is clean with a pleasant smell. Overall, a great stay!

This place, was awesome. I'm disabled. And finding hotels that will accommodate you is hard . I have mobility issues, trouble getting to the bathroom, trouble loading my truck back up. This staff went out of their way, helped me into my room multiple times, took my luggage to my truck for me, gave me clean towels and linens when the toilet basically exploded all over in a huge mess. Even brought a new key to me so I didn't have to go to the lobby. These people are seriously wonderful. I mean that. It's terrible living with a disability and having issues like I do and then when simple stuff like a toilet backing up happens and you can't stop it.. the staff here is amazing... 10 stars

I understand that there will be a deposit due for room damages. But, if the deposit can only be made in cash, surely there should be some kind of notice, warning or something in the location details or itinerary information. I shouldn’t find out that my non refundable room booking requires a CASH damage deposit at the lobby desk!

The room was uncomfortable. The atmosphere was uncomfortable. Our room door looked like someone had broke into the room sometime. The first morning we were there, we was outside the room and was approached by some shady dude asking a lot of questions. He had walked over from a different motel in the area. Just a bad room and bad area. Won’t stay again.

First room we got smelled really musty with carpet, we asked for a different room with was better but the deadbolt on the door would lock and we felt a little unsafe. I was also worried about my truck getting broken into since there was several signs stating to protect your belongings and they are not responsible. Maybe they should have an on duty security guard!
