Was a nice room very clean but the whole room was very damp even though the AC was working. It got worse after showering there was a vent on the wall but I don't think it was working.

Great value

Room was very clean. We got an updated room with hard service floors. You will probably need to ask for more towels and there’s no hooks in the bathroom. Put the temperature in cleanliness of the room was great! Front of the building looks a little beat up. Being right off the interstate, I understand. But for the price, the quality and stay was great!

Room was large and comfortable. AC was leaking water. Breakfast was not spectacular but it was edible. Pull out sofa bed did not have linens. Had to request from front desk. Was supplied a blanket with larhe burn hole in the middle. Front desk was advised and not concerned. Homeless guy hangs out around property. Did not harass us but maje sure to lock up your belongings

The facilities were good and clean. However, I could here every step of those in the room above us. That was disturbing all night. So choose the second floor if you want a quieter room.

Because of the front desk staff at this hotel, I had to file a police report and now have a stalker. They gave out my information (full legal name and room number) to a complete stranger and tried to give him a key to my room at 1 in the morning. They also informed me that their front desk phone does not connect to any of the rooms which is a huge safety concern. The hotel staff refuses to let me talk to a manager or the owner to rectify the situation. The sheriff also informed me that there are about 50 homeless people living behind the hotel and that it was overall an unsafe area and to never stay there again.
