First and foremost the staff were absolutely incredible. We talked with three of the staff and I feel bad that we don’t remember all of your names, but you were amazing! And to the young guy who was in training - You’re doing awesome!!! The breakfast had a lot of options and the food was hot and delicious. Our teenager said the biscuits and gravy were the best he’d had at a hotel. The pool was heated and lovely. The room was big and had an incredible view of a game field where we watched hundreds of birds at sunset swarming. It was incredible! We needed to extend our stay an extra day and the staff was SO NICE! Made it super simple. Thank you for your hospitality and if we ever come back through, we will come see you again! @TheDrsDrive

Not so good experience. We chose this hotel because it had a pool, and the pool was closed bc of pump issue. Which is fine- but then we got to the room and the tv wouldn’t come on, my husband changed the plug in and it came on, and then would flash off and on. There wasn’t any soap in the container in the bathroom and the stay over all just wasn’t comfortable simply because of all the missing luxuries we paid for.

Best overnight between TX/MN. Comfortable PILLOWS as well as king bed. Blackout curtains, clean, quiet, easy access to interstate. We were on opposite side (room 215) Room was cold when we arrived 9PM (62 degrees) but heated up quickly when staff instructed us over phone. Nice quiet HVAC! Small freezer actually worked and clean appliances. Only negative was luggage carts were nowhere to be found when checking in tired and no assistance from staff.When a cart appeared in AM: old and “rickety.” The need to be upgraded and more closely watched (or have a back-up plan.

Property was OK inside by outside there were 100s of pigeons - on the roof of the building - on the lights, all over the roof. They crapped all over the entrance to the hotel and several cars parked nearby. There are electronic sound emitters that scare away the pigeons but dont harm them or use poison. Its a very bad first impression of the property and they spread their "deposits" all over everything

The property is filthy. The rooms look like they are not cleaned in between guest. The towels were stained, the sheets were stained and the lights didn’t work properly. The bathrooms have not been thoroughly cleaned in months. There is mold on all of the edges in the bathroom. Very, very disappointing for the price and rating on Expedia.

The property was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. Our fridge had food from a previous guest in it which was a little gross and the shower had a really poor caulking job that made the shower look dirty. It wasn’t dirty but had the appearance due to the caulking. The AC worked like a charm as the temps were really warm. The pancake machine for breakfast would’ve been nice if it was working correctly and it would’ve been nice if there were two as you have to wait a while for the pancakes to be ready.
