Hotel was definitely economy. Fine for the night. Room didn’t have any ashtrays but it smelled like smoke or perhaps just musty. There was no bathmat for the shower and no extra towels to use no extra blanket and only 3 small pillows. The WiFi password at check in and on the key case was incorrect. When I mentioned it at checkout, they were aware of the error and never mentioned it at check in. Location was good- right off the highway. As I said, for one night, it was reasonably priced and you got what you paid for.
