Very Good

The room is very clean. The people were extremely nice. The only thing that I didn’t care for was the floor plan and I don’t think that they can avoid it but between the bed and the wall wall wall and what’s up against the wall, there’s not much walk room it was fine for me, but I am a slender woman my son who is a little bit bigger had a little bit difficulty.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The great ratings were not accurate in my opinion. Place was really run down and we were the only car in the large parking lot at 6:00 pm on a Friday night . We checked out and went elsewhere. Lost $131 bucks but was worth it.
Not happy w our stay. Our room was not made up after first night. Asked for clean towels next morning, and they were never received. Breakfast was only fair, soggy biscuits. Lock on outside door in back was not secure. Toilet did not flush properly, had to hold the handle down til finished. Problems w TV.Just not a good stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
very nice and clean property. beds were very comfy. parking, a breeze. check-in was quick and easy; employee was friendly and welcoming. the gentleman that works the breakfast area was very pleasant and helpful - he went above and beyond...i asked if there was ice in their service area, and he said no but offered to go get me some...we don't see that kind of service anymore. would def return and recommend.
The room itself was ok, but we changed rooms 3 times until we found a bathroom with toilet that flushed instead of constantly running without a full flush.

Room felt very humid and had a musty odor. Ceiling had multiple poorly patched holes. Curtains on the windows would not close.
Our room was quite comfortable although a little on the small side. I chose the hotel because it had a no pets policy (I have allergies) and thus was willing to go to a hotel further off the highway. But the location proved to be good, as there were lots of restaurants to choose from in the immediate vicinity. Service and parking were fine.
