I really liked that it was right off the highway ,pet friendly and very clean, but it look like it needs some small repairs and better attend ed one is not enough when you driving alk day and just want to rest.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The property shows some wear, but not enough to be concerning. Location next to a Walmart, an IHOP, and a Staples store is convenient. I was there on a Friday and Saturday night. A police car sat at the entrance to the property both nights. My room was clean and comfortable. I would stay there again.
It’s a bare bones kinda stay but they maintain the property by making constant repairs and remodeling. The front desk is pleasant and helpful, even when there are minor issues. The location is within walking distance of a Walmart, gas station and restaurants. It’s recommended For the price of stay after driving a distance or working from out of town.

Outside was a little sketchy, the smell of weed in the middle of night walking to the room was not pleasant, and the hidden fee of a security deposit charged and still waiting for a refund as the man at the desk said it comes back . Room was surprisingly modern and pretty clean
I didnt like anything. The beds were old. The pillows were older. Bed bugs and pubic hairs on the dirty bed. I couldnt even go to bed after a Halloween party. Had to drive 40 miles home. Strongly advise to not stay at this property. I stay at Red Roof in Belden Village all the time and its clean and no bed bugs. Waiting on my refund. Calling health department.
I didn't like the $100 security hold that I won't get back for a week. Also the elevator did not work when the desk person said it did. The stairs were covered in some kind of liquid. And it was filthy overall. The only good thing was inside the room. And we did not feel safe

Nothing to rave about. Had to wait until 6:45 to check in. However, it was a very busy day weekend with activities in the area. Also key card didn’t work second day and was reprogrammed. Staff was friendly, bed comfortable, lots of shopping and restaurants close by. Cheapest I could find for the weekend. Don’t like giving $100 deposit up front when checking in. They said I’d get it back in 7-10 days after check out. Maybe this is normal now days?
Pros:
-Nice check-in staff
-Heater works great
-1st pet stays Free and second is $15 a night
Cons:
-Smells like someone chain smoked cigarettes in the room - got switched and it still smelled horribly like cigs...even after spraying perfume all over. So it's not a Smoke Free environment!
-Staff tried gaslighting us saying it doesn't smell like cigs/they were just in the room
-No microwave plate
-Tv didn't work
-Cig burns in the sheets
-Dirty, a lot of trash under the bed, floor piece was missing
-Sink didn't work at all & dirty toilet
-Cars kept circling the building and it felt very unsafe
Was honestly very upset with this stay and will never recommend it to anyone.
It was alot more run down than the pictures portray online. I had to pay $100.00 security deposit. Our room had no phone , no hangers and one of the beds had hair and grass on the made bed. The other bed wasn’t made and had no comforter. The cleaning lady was nice and did her best to fix it. I felt unsafe. There weren’t many guests or cars but those who were there were loud. Also, the refrigerator was loud and the air conditioner roared. It was so loud we had to turn it off so we could sleep.
