The property was under renovations, so it was pretty dirty and loud. The room door had a large gap under it, so hallway traffic could easily be heard and people could look under the door into the room. It didn't feel very safe. The room I was given seemed like it wasn't thoroughly cleaned before check in. There was a previous customer's towel hanging on the door in the bathroom, the chair in the room had what looked like large blood or wine stains on it, and one of the lamps was missing the lamp shade. The staff seemed pleasant enough and were helpful with remagnetizing keys and replacing one when I accidentally locked myself out of the room.

We checked in late night/early morning. Staff was friendly & accommodating. The first room we were given immediately smelled of wet carpet, quickly discovering the shower faucet would not turn off. So we switched rooms. Though the room as bigger, there was a fraction of the towels as the first room, the floor hadn’t been vacuumed because there was visible mud/dirt next to the sofa bed which was littered with stains. Breakfast was not worth trying. It may be affordable but I’d consider a better option.

Attendant not at counter when I entered. I picked up the phone to call and she yelled from somewhere that she was coming. It startled me. She was nice a professional. The room I reserved was not available. She gave a replacement double queen. There was a floor fan not in use that sat outside my door all day and evening. The seat in the toilet wasn’t tight and moved when I sat on it. The bottom of the entertainment center was crumbling apart. There was no soap tray in the shower. The breakfast was enjoyable. I was afraid to drink the milk. My stay was peaceful.

Pleasant stay

The hotel was comfortable and one of the more reasonable places we can take our 2 dogs over Christmas! The room was perfect with small fridge, ground level and comfortable bed. Coffee in the morning was good and all employee interactions were pleasant.

This hotel was ok. The beds were comfortable and breakfast was really good. I went to tell the folks at the desk to have a look at the shower knob, there were only a couple of little kids in the office. I thought the price was a little high for the property but it was college graduation weekend.

Good value

the hotel was close to the interstate and price was reasonable. The diner near the parking was very good. The room was comfortable but there were stains on the carpet, the bedspread and the couch. The hotel could use some updating and there is no elevator, which I had not known prior to reserving. Breakfast was meh. It was okay for a one night stay.
