We had a clean room with a good shower. It was an easy on/easy off the interstate with lots of parking. Staff as nice. A good plus was the availability of a luggage cart. The breakfast was ok. Waffles, bagels, cereal, coffee, muffins, etc. There was an excellent Mexican restaurant next door. We sat outside since the air conditioning was so cold, but the food was good.

The front desk lady was super accommodating! We asked for a quiet room since there was a wedding party happening that night, so she knew the room and we were satisfied. The only complaints are...there is no elevator; the indoor pool was cold; and there was no breakfast the next morning.

The only parking available, mulberry trees will fall all over your car. It’s very unfortunate that a cash wash then costs $20, no elevators only stairs so no one handicapped can stay. The entire building smells like smoke and ghetto gangsters wondering non stop.

The room was clean and comfortable. It looks as if the owners are updating and it looks nice. My only complaint was the smell of our room. We checked in and came back later. The room had an awful smell and the carpet was wet. We let the front desk person know and they immediately got us another room. We were very grateful for that. I would stay again. Friendly service and clean rooms!

I didn't like how dark it was. Limiter lighting in the room. The room smelled bad and had a weird minty smell and also a Febreeze plug-in , which smelled differently than the mint. The hallway reeked of marijuana and I believe it was coming from the room next to ours.

This hotel was impeccably clean! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotels.com app went down as I was paying, and there was an issue and they made sure they watched for double billing and took care of any situations that arose. All is in perfect shape. I would highly recommend staying here, it was the best Travelodge I’ve ever stayed in. Also, there was a lovely Mexican restaurant next-door and they were open until 10 and happy to serve!

It was fine for a one night stay. Not the nicest rooms but the bed was comfortable. The curtains looked like something a scary clown would wear and the darkening shades did not work well. The staff were all very nice though. Be careful when reserving as they do have smoking rooms.

The room was pretty clean and the front desk girls were great! On Sunday morning went down for breakfast and the lady working in the kitchen was very rude!!! I spoke with the front desk lady and told her how rude she was. A couple of older guest came in just a bit after 9:00am and she was very rude to them and told them that they would have to go out to lobby to eat. We felt bad so we let them sit at our table and the staff said “Oh wonderful!” and was very upset that we got up to let them sit down. I feel that should not be in hospitality if that is how is going to treat people.
