Decent stay for price. Not the Hyatt and not the RedRoof. Would be ideal place for football games due to proximity.

This was a last minute booking. The hotel is fine. Location is fine. The checking in and checking out process was quick. Staff was very friendly. Parking was great. The rooms are not so great. Carpets are stained and look dirty. The bed looked like someone had slept in it. We then realized the sheets were clean, maybe someone was in a hurry to make the bed? It was an ok stay for a last minute trip.
Our second time here. The location is good. House keeping & some front desk staff are courteous and do prompt service. Bed & linens are fine. Good parking space. But the floors, furniture, carpet need cleaning & replaced. There were dead bugs in bathroom. Stains on carpets & old furnishings. Overall comfortable stay.
