Front desk staff are above and beyond. The rest of the hotel, not so much. A good value for its price, definitely.
I prefer the apple inn across the street
Love the private balcony with sliding doors but the fact that they give u your privacy to full extent and are always there to help with any assistance..... And feel safe with 24hr security....

Meh... you get what you pay for.
Easy process, good prices, friendly staff. Just a trashy, junk hotel. Make sure you park where you can see your car b/c there are questionable people walking around the parking lot at all hours of the night
We absolutely love all their staff and cleaning crews here at this hotel.
It may be an Older hotel but their staff has and always been amazing to us. The rates are very reasonable
Hotel is getting old but was quiet and comfortable.Nite front desk Guy needs a personality upgrade.. Convenient to fast food restaurants and to major i70 highway.
