This place is long in the tooth, but the rates reflect that. The beds are still comfortable, the kitchens work. Just bring the stuff you know you'll need and you will be fine. The staff is friendly and the long term guests are pleasant as well.

We booked this last minute and honestly didn't think it was going to be that great. I was totally surprised. Hotel was in good condition, clean and the staff were very friendly. It wasn't on a main road so it was quiet. Definitely would stay there again.

The staff was amazing. The room was not as clean as I would’ve liked. The beds were very clean and the sheets smelled clean but there was a dirty wash cloth left over the shower, a used bar of soap and in general the room was not cleaned very well. We were in town for an event and literally just slept and left the next morning, overall it served its purpose.

Room was clean. Not really a suite. Only two chairs, no dishes or pans or even silverware. And, even though it states full breakfast- they gave us a slip when we checked in the said no breakfast. A good place to pull off the highway and sleep. Without gps, we would have NEVER found it in the dark. The was no signage

The proximity to our event was great. Overall cleanliness was barely okay. Carpets were stained and not vacuumed well. Bathroom floors were not cleaned well either. Microwave handle was broken and the hair dryer didn’t work. Room had a musty smell. From a notice on the elevators, it appears this might be a weekly or nightly rental at times with the people asked to leave for the busy weekend events in the area.
