From the outside the building looks a little sketchy and the lobby looking the same, but the room was clean and so was the bathroom. Breakfast was nice but the earlier you get to it, the more variety you'll have (whoever is in charge of keeping up with the breakfast bar keeps the hot foods restocked). The staff was super friendly and housekeeping is helpful and super sweet. The hotel was quiet at night and the beds super soft and comfortable. I didn't eat at the restaurant connected to the hotel, but there's good reviews on their website. All in all check-in and out process super fast and easy

Quick stop all easy

Looks like a major renovation, paint etc. Beds were extremely comfortable. The bar and grille area looked comfortable but very loud so we skipped it. Breakfast room is ok but long tables make it very difficult to walk around. Breakfast was traditional motel breakfast. Hot, fast etc would definitely stay there again at the reasonable price but still waiting for $100 deposit in case of damage after 5 days

Did not like anything about the property. Was super outdated, tired, funky smell, in dire need up upgrading or tear down and rebuild. Of note, we did not notify staff of our dissatisfaction, predicted all the rooms would be the same. Thankfully only stayed one night

The room was fairly clean. It was a great location, easy to find and easy to get to. It's easy to tell it has been recently re-done. The rugs in the hallway are kind of dingy. The upgrades in the room are nice, except the bathtub. I like the laminate floors in the room instead of the rugs! The breakfast is lacking. There's not a lot of variety and it's the same thing every day. All that being said, we would stay again!

This is a run down hotel that has partially been renovated. The floors are dirty and there was a terrible odor coming from our refrigerator. The outside of the hotel looks abandoned. Don’t trust the photos on this platform. Very Dec

Just a little smell...

The property is in a good location to several different areas. The hotel is in good physical condition. Beds were super comfortable. Our only concern was that the bathroom area had a noticeable urine smell. I reported it to the front desk before housekeeping came through, but when we returned at the end of the days activities it was still there. They clearly cleaned the rooms, but it didn't go away.

Worst hotel in the world

Checked in and took forever and the first room wasn’t cleaned so they gave me another room and that had flies the cable didn’t work and the sink was broke. So then they found a 3rd room and after 3 hours I checked in the guy was friendly the lady working was laughing probably the worst experience I’ve ever had in a hotel never offered me anything to make me happy worst hotel I’ve ever seen

The staff were very nice and the room was standard, but the room was dirty. Stuff on the floor, mold on the shower curtain, etc. The breakfast was terrible, but free, so can't complain too much.

The property itself is really nice, and fhe staff that was in charge of the cafeteria did a great job cleaning. However, if you like a quiet place to sleep, this is not the place. You can hear people walking and running by the halls or laughter through the walls at night.
