The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We needed to change from a one bed king to a 2 bed double due to our grandson wanted to stay with us. The room was clean and in order. Our 7 year old grandson called the property "cute". The only complaint is the parking lot is very rough and filled with pot holes. However, for an overnight stay the hotel is quiet, convenient and economical. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

The ceiling had peeled off paint and the shower fixture was rusty. The toilet was on the ground floor like a child’s size toilet. The room smelled bad. The microwave in the room had either old food splatter or rust on the window. The desk was a cheap plastic table and chair. The little lounge chair wasn’t stationary. It looked like it was last remodeled in the 1980s. Staff made me fill out an old paper form that was meant for credit cards like an old carbon copy type receipt even though I paid in full with a third party. The hotel was extremely overpriced at like $80 for the night with no amenities and no breakfast.

Decent hotel. Clean. New mattresses. I guess they had a bedbug problem a while back. Many places do. The bed was comfy. Shower and everything pretty clean. Free coffee in office in am. No coffee maker in room. Not a big deal. The location seems safe and quiet. Our room was in back facing a corn field, which gave it a nice rural feel. We did not eat in restaurant out front. Over all, a nice place for the money.

I get the feeling that because I was traveling with my 2 (French Bulldogs) I was given the worst room. It smelled like mildew, there were dead bugs on the window sill and in the bathroom. The chair next to the bed looked like it was found at the dump, I wouldn’t even set my luggage on it. The a/c unit worked but only intermittently and it was a hot night. The mattress was thin and the pillowcases were not the same color as the bedding. However the bathroom vanity looked fairly new, even if the water smelled a little sulphuric. Glad I only had to spend one night. If I could say one thing to the manager it would be don’t judge people traveling with dogs. My dogs are better behaved in hotels than most people.

There were stains on the sheets and towels, there was either ant or mouse bait in the room. There was a smell of sulfur in the room and the smoke alarm was beeping the entire time I was there. The trash outside did not affect the stay, but it was just nasty as you can see. It may be convenient, and much less expensive, but I will not stay here again.

The room was disgusting. Stained sheets, splattered walls, and a really dirty sitting chair. As soon as you walked in, it smelled of cat urine. I also killed a cockroach. I would never stay here again.

This location is good. Rooms are clean and look refurbished fairly recently and are relatively quiet. Security good. Staff very friendly and helpful. Best: Freddy's Mexican restaurant is a short walk across the parking lot. Hours 8a to 9pm. Excellent food, particularly Mexican. The owner is a Mexican named Freddy. Tell Freddy that Kevin said "hi!"

I don’t even know where to begin. Staff was rude upon check in. The room was filthy. Stained sheets, dried blood on the walls. Chair in the room was filthy. TV didn’t work. Pillows smelled like stale old body odor. My dogs were even uncomfortable. They charge a $50 deposit on top of the pet fee and refund it after they do a walk through of the room. Really? My dogs could have done their business all over the room and it wouldn’t look any worse than what we walked into
