Clean and comfortable for a lower price hotel. Easy on and off the hi way, big parking lot for trucks with trailers.

The people were super friendly and helpful. The smell was AWFUL! It smelled like old cigarettes mixed with something sweet. It was just a nauseating smell throughout the hallways, stairwells, and in the room on the second floor. The door on the side that led in also didnt shut at all which was a security concern. I was thankful to only have to stay one night. It wasnt the WORST experience, but not one i want to repeat. Again, though, staff was so kind! Couldnt have asked for better people in there.

The staff is extremely rude and judgemental if you are of a particular race. The room door had a broken safety latch and unable to secure the regular lock if you wanted to leave the room w/o a big hassle with the door. Bed was sitting low on floor and saggy and lumpy. At 2am still heard the manager talking through the door that had a huge gap in it from the floor up @least 2in. high. Toilet ran all night. The window was locked by a screw, latch was broken. The t.v. was a mini. 18inch.

We stayed at hotel because it was closer to our family gathering. Next time we will make the drive and not stay here. The room was absolutely disgusting. There was blood on the matress and wall. The shower you had to stand spread eagle or you felt like the floor was going to cave in. The only chair in the room looked like someone had been tied to it and hands slit. The sides had something dark all over them. Yes we stayed but slept in our clothes on the blankets. We had drove 8 hours and needed a place to rest. Do not bother staying here. Find something else. The hotel it self is very dated and the hallways are filthy. There is also no elevator. Which yes we could walk a flight of stairs but i am so glad we didnt have alot of luggage. I tried to upload pictures to show what we seen but it wouldnt let me

Fantastic! This place is a real sleeper. Good rate, comfy bed, perfect shower, fitness center. Best deal I've found in years, and I've been doing this for 33 years. Kudos!

This place was generally a crummy hotel I would not recommend. Reeking of cannabis smoke, super staticky bedding that sparked with every toss and turn, and nasty mop strings all over the floors from a worn out and shedding mop. There was a neglected fire detector (with a battery that lost charge) that I reported to the front desk that went off all night long every two minutes. I got no sleep. Avoid this place.

Hotel was clean and looked very well kept. Inside was clean and in great shape. They even had a phone book in the room (I haven’t seen an actual phone in about a decade, LOL). They even had a soda machine that charged just $1 for a soda, awesome!!!!! Would definitely stay again!!!

This property is really run down and in need of renovations. The room smelled damp and musty. The beds are uncomfortable and sink down in the middle. The kids feet were dirty after walking barefoot on the carpet. There were a couple roaches on the bathroom floor. I do not recommend this hotel. The higher online ratings are deceiving. We lived through it, I’m still getting teased by my family for choosing it but hey, we learned!

The shower attachment needed to be replaced/repaired. It did not stay in place which made it difficult to take a shower. Also the stopper in the sink needed to be repaired.

Ar check in the clerk did not find my prepaid expedia reservation i made a couple of months ago. Took 45 min to sort out. I ended up getting a credit with expedia for a future reservation and had to pay out of pocket for this weekend's hotel room. It was extremely inconvenient and I should have been compensated much more than I was. Very upset with expedia and am going to look at other companies
