The room was enough for me and my 4 kids to sleep peacefully. The tv had cartoons for the kids. The water pressure and temperature were amazing. I also got to examine the room before submitting payment for my deposit. I was also over 4 hours late checking in with no issues
Room was clean. Did not get email about added charge

The staff was great - the room not so much. Floor, walls , shower was extremely dirty. People were coming in and out of the rooms down from me. I wouldn’t stay here again.

There was no hot tub that we could find. The bed was comfortable. The rooms are extremely old and in disrepair. Housekeeping only emptied the garbage and replaced towels only made one bed once. Every day we went out and when we returned we had to walk back to the office to get our key reset.

Check in/out process was very fast and easy, but the rooms do not look like the pictures. They were clean for the most part, couldve been cleaner. But the yellow dirty pillows were covered up with the pillow case, the bed was absolutely the worst bed I have ever slept on in my life, the sheets and curtains had burn holes even though its supposed to be a non smoking room and you could hear the traffic driving by all night. But if you're just looking for a place to sleep for the night like we were, I guess its tolerable for the price.

They took my money and when i stop ny the place there was no room available.
They threw me out to the street at 2AM in a not low crime area at all. They keep my money i I didn’t have where to go with out the money for a new reservation, let alone a safe place to sleep.
It was okay. Not good by any means. I don’t think it was worth what I paid (even on Expedia). My room was decent, upstairs and relatively clean thank God. I read many poor reviews after booking (in my defense, they were posted literal days after I booked) and was genuinely terrified. I think my room was recently remodeled, bc the AC actually worked. It wasn’t the worst hotel on the road but it was pretty dang close. Bc of the location, I was scared to walk out of my room unnecessarily. As in, while waiting for my Uber after checking out, a windowless white van pulled in off the highway and the man inside rolled down the window saying that he could “take me for a ride.” If you’re in a group or with a male-presenting person, you’d probably be fine. If you’re a single female like me, I’d spend the extra $100 to avoid the irl child kidnapping van.
The staff was nice tho.
