Very Good

When I pulled up there were 6 police cars- a K-9 unit and ambulance.
I was on customer service for 1 and half hours with 3 different people and on hold for 15 -20 minutes at a time. I have not been refunded yet- (I found another hotel on my own)
This is THE perfect budget hotel. Everything you could want or need within walking or short driving. Clean rooms with some updates. Lots of USB ports which is handy. Extra big bath tubs. Free coffee in the lobby. ATM and vending in lobby.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Stopper for tub was broken so couldn’t take bath, refrigerator stopped working, waisting a pizza. Told front desk at check out. No apology no discount for refrigerator I paid for. Zero out of ten.
Just need to remember to pack my eye mask since there was no way to darken the room for sleep.

Room was ok, price was right, just needed it for a night before a flight, room was parallel to the interstate, so it was loud, they wouldn't let me switch to the quiet side of a half full hotel with out paying a fee, kind of lame but ok
