The exterior of the buildings seemed ill maintained. The TV never worked, and when I had asked the staff about it they were no help. The receptionist seemed a bit distracted when we came in, and even though we were the only ones in the lobby, it took her longer than expected to take care of us.

It was very much a Motel 6 with a better than avg front desk staff. There was no screen in my window when I arrived, in the maintenance guy was upset that I said no, that the bent one with a a very large hole that wouldn't stay in at the corner wasn't okay for security (ground floor, needed to keep window slightly ajar due to smell). He did replace it with a mich better one a bit later, but with a bit of attitude and not a word. I felt like I put him out. I did notice that only few windows even had screens. I paid the weekday rates, but checked out before paying over $100 plus taxes for the weekend.

Quick Frontdesk service. The young lady that helped me was quick and to the point getting me my room. The room was nice and clean. Bed was a little squeaky but that's probably the worst part. Lots of clean towels. Lots of parking. Will stay there again.
