Parking lot needs serious attention but other than that the room was super clean and the a/c & heater worked perfect as it did get a lil chilly last night. And the fact that they have legit smoking rooms is a big reason why i try to stay there when i need a room. All in all its a nice inexpensive place for a stay-cation lol
