The remodel and upgrades were very nice!! The shower was amazing. There were strong smells of weed in certain areas/rooms. But thankful it was not near or around our room. Overall, I was very please with the room for the price. We stayed here a few years ago, and it was not this nice, so it was a pleasant surprise.

The lobby was being renovated when we arrived, and the check-in was in a room on the main floor (a little bit odd), but once we got to our room, it was fine, fully renovated, clean sheets, and the best thing in the room was the shower. It had a great water pressure! I enjoyed my showers. I guess once the lobby is renovated, everything will look more in place.

I was given a room with no air and the lights on one side of the room did not work!! I had small children with me and it was stressful because I lugged all of our stuff all the way to the third floor only to have to move way across the hotel property to another room!! When I call for a partial refund A lady called back but then never followed up!! It has been a week and I had to call them back!! When I called back the dude at the front desk didn’t speak fluent english and was rude after I asked to leave a message!!! Talking about what is the message Damn!!! The room I was moved to was clean!!

We checked in at 3:00 Saturday July 20th. The lady running the lobby was absolutely wonderful! We were there for a concert, so we rented the room mainly just to sleep after the concert. However we were disappointed that the TV didn't work and none of the soap dispensers had any type of shampoo, body wash or hand soap. Other than that, the room was very clean and comfortable.

It wasnt necessarily a bad stay. It was better than I thought it would be. The lady at check in was very kind. We had a safe quiet stay. The place just had so much trash all around the grounds. When we checked in there was trash from the previous renter outside our door and there it stayed even when we left. They need someone to clean the grounds.

Just ok

Upon arriving the lobby was very unorganized with the remodel. No receipt could be given for lack of a printer. Room did not have amenities that were shown when booking. Main door did not work correctly. Limited bathroom toiletries.

There was a long line at the front desk to check in. The poor woman was very nice and apologized. Management needs more staff! The elevator was gross, filthy, like a stable. No fridge in the room. No breakfast. The shower and bed were good and the room seemed clean.

The bad Wifi was terrible so for an out of towner like myself with no data this really sucked. There was also no shampoo or body wash in the room so I had to buy some from Walmart. The outside of the hotel looks really outdated but this is the only bad thing I have to say about this hotel The good Great staff and 3 great options for food right across the street. Gas station across the street as well which is nice with the highway being so close. The inside of the room was really nice and updated. The a/c worked amazing. So cold the wife had to get into a blanket after coming inside from the deathly heat outside. Honestly for the great price and Location you can’t beat it. Definitely plan on staying there again next year.

No frills, no pool but nice stay

Front desk lady was amazing. Felt sorry for her because she was alone without help but she handled it very well. Room smelled of fresh paint, fresh new linens, and overall remodeled. Check out the gyro food truck near the parking lot it’s amazing. Will for sure go back to this location.
