Birthday Getaway

Hotel amenities was fine, except we were told WIFI was available when it wasn't. Could not utilize the pool due to cleanliness. Hospitality staff forgot to replenish wash towels. There were bugs in window seal and A/C unit. Complementary breakfast was a plus. All in all , an average visit for amount paid.

Nice Stay for The Price

I was in town for a conference and wanted to save my expense money for other items. This hotel offered a reasonable rate in the right area. The location is great close to attractions, shopping, interstate, etc... The staff was very friendly. Check-in went quickly. About 10 minutes after arriving in my room I received a phone call from the front desk asking if everything in my room was OK and if I needed anything. The room was clean and furnished with what you would expect of a hotel in this category and price range. One of the main amenities I was looking for was wifi internet service which was provided. Connecting to the service was simple. The speed was good and I had no issues with connectivity. The breakfast area is a little small even with the available outside seating. Maneuvering around to get your food and find a place to sit was sometimes a challenge. A decent variety of breads and cereals, along with waffles, eggs and sausage were available. It was crowded and some guests were less than polite but not the hotel's fault. Overall a good stay. This is not a 5 star hotel but you aren't paying 5 star rates. It is clean, comfortable, in a nice area, and a friendly staff.

Good for the price

It was an okay place. There was some hair in the shower, but overall it was okay for the money and area. The pool was right next to the highway so that kind of stunk!

Not Impressed

If you're just looking for a cheap place to stay, then this hotel may be suitable for you. Vandalized equipment and automatic air fresheners in the hallways didn't portray an atmosphere of attentiveness. The desk staff was not accommodating, and did not appear to be "customer focused." We left something in one of our rooms (of little value) and were told that they couldn't check the room until the following day with a manager. We were never contacted again. The rooms were clean but outdated, with small bathrooms. We did not use the pool so we cannot comment on that. When we arrived their wireless internet wasn't functional. All in all it was a convenient location, but not a hotel that we would return to. Do your homework and decide what's important to you before staying here. If price is your only concern, by all means - but otherwise there are many other options nearby.

Motel Conditon

Overall experience was average but the general condition of the motel was generally worn. My room was clean, but the carpet stains from prior water damage, paint peeling and age, all take away from the experience. Breakfast, though free, was cold or lacking in availability.

Business As Usual

My experience at this hotel was an average stay. The rooms could be a little bit more spacious, however for the reason I was there it was good. I was there on business and I didn't have any problems commuting back and forth, with traffic and the hotel being interstate accessible. The staff was very helpful when I had issues with the WIFI connection. This is a great location if you are looking to be right down the street from the luxurious McDonald's with the arcade and bowling alley. The breakfast there was outstanding. Sheets were very clean and my wake-up call was right on time. Good place to stay for a night or two, not for family vacation.

Bathroom needs updated

Upon entering the room, all looks fine however, they promote this with a microwave, fridge and free wifi which indeed it had. It also had a chair for sitting. Since this was such a little room, the chair was tucked next to the desk, next to the fridge, next to the dresser so really unusable. The ceiling in the shower/toilet area had peeling paint from a previous water leak and the tiles around the wall and floor were broken. So, if you overlook that, the location was great for an event at the convention center.
