A no frills hotel that was clean, comfortable, close to tons of restaurants. A great value for the price. No carpet for the allergy travelers which was nice after 2 weeks of carpeted hotels.

The front desk assistant was great a the room was good . My only issue was the top comforter was dingy an dirty so I removed it but as I was leaving I watched the guy pick it off the floor an lay it in the tv table so he could put it back on the bed. It needed washed so that was a little concerning to me . Other than that my stay was good

Disliked: Amenities
You get what you pay for. This is an older facility that has had some minor upgrades. The linens were mostly clean, I returned a couple of pillowcases. The furniture was worn and the tub/shower looked like a war had happened in it. The door wouldnt completely lock so we blocked it with a sofa. If you want cheap, under $100 a night, and just a mostly clean bed. . . There are lots of better options in the area.

Clean and perfect for one night on the road

Easy convenient check in. Clean room. The tub did not have a plug to take a bath but otherwise comfortable and meeting all needs. Lots of franchise food options but we drove four miles to Michael’s for an OK dinner. Trying to support local restaurants…
