We just needed a place to stay the night. It was clean and fairly quiet. Room had been updated which was nice. Bed a bit soft for my taste but overall fine. Disappointed that the pool was closed the entire time. We were told upon check in it was closed due to weather (it had thunderstormed) but even the next morning when it was sunny and quite hot, it remained closed. If that's a feature you're counting on, I'd call first to see if that is a pattern.

The shower head came out of the wall enough that you could see light from the other room...felt a little weird. The accommodations could use some updating. The no smoking in the pool should be enforced - we didn't use the pool because it wasn't. The person who checked us in was very nice.

I stayed at hotel previously before this time and had to move rooms after Informes the property manager about seeing bedbugs when I checked bc I started getting huge whelps that was so itchy. Tht did nothing and didn't go by protocol when it came to extermination. Matter of fact they put other guest directly into same room!!! This time I couldnt sleep I stayed up all night prisoner to the restroom bc the bugs were so bad you could see bedbugs all over the sheets and comforter, didn't even have to look into the mattress. I called front desk about concern and issue and was to I'd switch rooms(they failed to do so) I asked for refund to change hotels and was refused!!! Was told it didn't matter my room was infested with bedbugs!!! It was awful!! These hotels demand a security deposit upon arrival for any damages done to their property but what about my property!!! They would not even refund my money towards room! Let alone money it cost to make sure days inns critters are distributed elsewhere. Something needs to be done about hotels that out people with bugs without a conscious . It's sad and inhuman really!!

Room was freezing as the heat hadn’t been turned on when we arrived. Place was empty, but check in seemed overly long. Room was basic and clean, but the beds were horribly uncomfortable. Could hear road noise all night. Breakfast was basic with hot with eggs and waffles. Next time would definitely pay a bit more and stay at the other proper hotels nearby, especially after a long day of driving.

It was a decent place to stay the night. Bathroom updated and nicely finished. The rest of the room could use updating, replacing the old carpet with vinyl flooring and replace the curtains. These upgrades should improve the old musty smells.

Mountain views, with several restaurants nearby, grocery store across street, and easy access to the interstate. Rooms are updated and clean. Dining area with coffee station, continental breakfast with a good selection of breads and sweet breads, fruit, waffles, scrambled eggs and fresh biscuits and juices. We made a prepaid reservation for a Saturday night stay as we would be on the road all day and checking in late and good thing we did because they were sold out! Seems like we weren’t the only ones who thought it would be a good place to rest for the night. Overall a really good value.
