There were roaches crawling on the desk when we got into our room!!! Upon walking into the lobby it looks fairly clean but when you walk into the hallways of the rooms it smells like smoke and the room was not clean. I would not stay again and if you’re someone like me who reads reviews- definitely pay $30-40 more to stay somewhere else!

The hotel lobby smelled like solvent, and the room smelled musty and old cigarette smoky. The a/c and fridge were cold but loud and annoying.

Joanna at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable. AC worked! Hotel has been refurbished several times, apparently, and is on need of some more work - it looks a little tired. But it was fine for just sleeping and moving on.

Staycation getaway

Needed a little staycation with my girlfriend and this hotel fit the bill for price and location. Convenient to good food. The hotel has been renovated. Still a couple items needing to be renewed like the patio doors, however, just having the patio was a huge plus.

The property was clean, except for a slight smoking odor in the room. My complaint was the noise. I could hear other guests making noise until close to midnight. Also, you can hear the interstate which is very close. I had a noise app on my phone which helped.
