Hotel room was clean and very basic. Great for a quick overnight stay while you are traveling. Coffee, juice, muffin only for breakfast, however popular restaurants nearby. Front desk polite. Parking close and free. Pet friendly and no extra fee.

An older facility but it has been upgraded tastefully. The handicap shower is big enough for a wheelchair to be rolled into. I felt the hotel was a good place to stay for the cost.

Room and property were clean and in nice shape. Loved the outdoor space. Didn’t like their “breakfast” Hotels.com listed a better breakfast and pictures of such but NOT accurate. Also NO COFFEE IN ROOMS?😳

I was not aware this was an outdoor entrance to rooms hotel. I had a bad experience in one and have never felt safe staying on one again. This was not disclosed on any of the pictures on Expedia! When i found this out and tried to get a refund, even though I felt unsafe, and I expressed that to Expedia, the hotel was unwilling to refund my stay! Very Disappointed in Choice Hotels, I expected better!

This hotel was not worth the price I paid for it. At my time of booking, it was almost $100 night. I was very displeased to walk into a very moldy smelling room. There were also a few dead roaches and cigarette burn holes all over our bedding, despite us booking a non-smoking room. The floors in the room were so dirty that the bottom of our socks turned black. You can tell that management does put effort into the appearance on the outside of the building and the lobby, however the room we stayed in could use some maintenance. The door to our room got stuck several times and we had to get help from the front desk. Our keys also stopped working several times even though they were nowhere near our phones or wallets. The woman at the front desk seemed nice, but she was noticeably irritated with us because of how many times our keys stopped working, however I do not believe it was our fault. From my experience, it would be worth it to stay elsewhere and pay a few extra dollars a night to be more comfortable.

I did not check in. The person in the lobby wanted $60 cash because I didn’t have a debit card. She wanted me to use the ATM and give her $60 cash. I said no and she was really nasty. I saw the room I gave her the key and said I’m checking out. There was cigarette burns in the bedding and the place was filthy. I expect a refund and I told her that also I asked for a refund when I first got there.

The original towels we had in our room were OK, but I asked for others from an attendant, and they had such a moldy smell that I couldn't use them. There was a sticky substance on the floor by one of the beds when we arrived. Bed sheets were not as clean as I would have liked. Price was extremely inflated for Derby. Cannot recommend.

Rooms

Rooms are basic and dated; some are spacious with comfortable mattresses, but bed quality varies. Traffic and train noise are reported by multiple guests, and the exterior-corridor layout can add to noise.

Not the fanciest hotel, but for a family of four that just needed a place to stay for the night, this was a good place and one we’ll probably make use if again. Price was good and staff was friendly. The room was very large. The beds were not the greatest, but we’ve slept on much worse in fancier hotels. The fixtures and furniture weren’t the newest and fanciest, but it was clean and had everything we needed for an overnight stay. Very happy with our overall experience.

The property is in a convenient location, but the interstate noise is overwhelming considering your rooms are directly accessed to the outside. It's a budget motel for sure, 1 night might be okay for most but for a multiple night stay I would not recommend. The host/manager was amazing, he accommodated our needs as we were able to get a refund for the remaining nights so that we could find a more suitable place for the family.

The hotel was ok for an older hotel. Everything was clean but the bed did smell like piss. The location is good, right next to a Taco Bell, waffle house and truck stop. We parked at the truck stop and walked across the street to get a room which was very convenient. The guy who checked us in asked me to give $60 in cash for the incidentals. I didn’t have cash to give, I have never been asked for cash at any hotel I have stayed at.

The property in general has a tired worn ambiance. The bathroom floor tile grout is dark with age, the caulk hardened & discolored. One of the decorative bed spreads had a cigarette burn hole in it though the room was none smoking. The advertised breakfast consisted of cereal, oatmeal, two different kinds of pastries, coffee. Luckily there was a nearby Golden Corral within walking distance. Though the staff was polite it was not enough to overcome the deficiencies for a better grade.
