The room was not clean at all there was food in the room trash, beer in the fridge and the bed was not made. I have to call the front desk to come and clean the room which was ridiculous since i checked in very late so the room should have been ready

Updated room, laundry facilities available, stocked dog bag station. They have a car charger but I was told I needed manager approval to use it, and they were out of town.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We ended up leaving in the night. The room smelled way too strong of cleaning solution. We aired it out for hours when we arrived (hard to breath) and went to our concert and when we returned it still was strong. Would suggest you not use what you’re using to clean room anymore. Noticed others opening windows and doors when they checked in and it was raining.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Staff was great and remodel was recent. Bed was too soft and pillows too hard. No coffee/hot water in the room. It was further from town than we thought. Kind of off by itself and close to the highway.
The beds were loud, kinda like sleeping on aluminum cans. Police activity was heavy. More like a motel. Seems like people lived there more than a place to stay.
