Overall a good experience, I attended in early November for work. There are some immediate accessible food options (McDonald's, cracker barrel) but within a 15-20 minute drive there's a plethora of options! Continental breakfast was delicious. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Overall very good stay. While I did not need it, I recieved an accessible room and I thought the amenities in it would be good for someone who requires them including additional space in the bathroom, pull bars, and a walk-in shower that was barrier free.

The front desk staff was very helpful. What made me cringe was the thick layer of dust on the shelf directly above the shelf where the glassware was-disgusting! The Teflon pots and pans were all scratched and flaking, the carpet wasn’t carefully vacuumed and the bed looked like someone had been laying on it before I arrived. I was uncomfortable staying here and I won’t be back.

The property itself was fine. But the room wasn't very clean. The bathroom floor was dirty, the soap dish and counter in bathroom had someone else's beard trimmings on them. The shower door also wouldnt stay closed. The staff was very nice and welcoming. The cleanliness was poor.

The first room was very mildewy and damp. The ventilation wasn’t good, my eyes were starting to burn as we got our stuff into the room, my husband who is allergic to mold at at red complaining he was having trouble breathing. I went downstairs and asked to switch room, they were very accommodating with switching rooms, we had to downgrade to a smaller room with our two kids which was better than the moldy room. The breakfast was terrible, not many options, no waffles during the week. The oatmeal was NOT edible, very watery most of the days it was like gray water with with occasional clumps of “oats”,sausage patties looked freezer burnt and then reheated. A positive,they had a few options for GF which was nice. We ended up eating at the McDonald’s next door and then the Cracker Barrel.

When I walked into the hotel there was a vaguely unpleasant chemical smell that was masked by some other odor that was presumably applied to be pleasant. After checking in to my room I attempted to use the bathroom. Upon lifting the toilet seat there were several cockroaches scurrying around. By the time I got my phone only one small one was left. The hotel immediately agreed to cancel my reservation and provide a refund, but has not yet provided the refund (it's been nearly 2 weeks).

Checked into a spacious room with an interesting layout- two doors to the closet with one in the bathroom! Unfortunately, the toilet wasn’t clean. The friendly clerk at the front desk immediately gave us keys to a room across the hall. There was a small brown stain on the bedsheet. I wouldn’t have made much note of it, but was a bit disappointed after the experience in the first room. Overall, the room was comfortable and quiet, and all staff we interacted with were very friendly and helpful.

A great design to the room, with many useful features, such as refrigerator, sink, lots of counter space. The hotel is near I-80 and so there is mild road noise around the clock, which might bother some. The immediate neighborhood is drab. The continental breakfast was very good.

Our stay was very good. The hotel is quite convenient to family and we were there to see family in unhappy circumstances. My only real issue is with the bed. It was so soft that it caused me to sink into it to an uncomfortable degree; and that extra softness also made for a very warm bed.

The property was clean, quiet and convenient off the freeway. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had a double suite with a pullout couch, and kitchenette. The issues we had was the closet; you could utilize it from front door and also the bathroom. There was shelves and a Mirror, on the bathroom side, however no Light, no ac and no privacy to change or get ready. You couldn't even walk through the closet it was too narrow. We traveled with our 2 teenagers (1 boy 1 girl), normally we make things work, but this space did not work for us. The TV was too small and not well placed in the room. Thank you.

I was visiting family and just staying the night. I arrived at nearly midnight and the front desk person greeted me warmly and got me checked in quickly. I needed to be out early and left only a few hours later and the same staff member checked me out with the same wonderful attitude. I travel a lot and can’t tell you how often front desk staff make it seem like I’m an inconvenience. This staff member made a brief stay as pleasant as it could be.
