Very good

Very small room. If my wife had been there she would've been upset that there was no chair. Only a bed. For me it was fine. I was only there a night and the price was right. Its a nice place to sleep.

I was not at the facility during the day too much, so I am not really sure about the surrounding property. It could use a little more night-time lighting outside. The garbage bins in the back were completely over flowing, so that was a little stinky. The bathroom was super small. This was comfortable for one person, but may be a little crowded for two. The check in was very easy and the property manager was responsive when needed.
Had a long wait to get someone to respond to allow me access to my room. no one present when i showed up. Right on highway 43 and traffic noise all night long. Room was clean and comfortable otherwise.
After hours check in was a little different. If you arrive after 4pm you text the phone number in your reservation and they give you your room assignment and code to get into your room. Pretty prompt in response time. Code did not work, so text back and new code was given with a few minutes. Love the concept and would choose a bigger room if I were staying longer. But the amenities were sufficient for a quick stay going through town. 4 little buildings with rooms, some private. We opted for a double bed size room that had rooms on either side. Kind of off the beaten path so you aren’t in the middle of interstate chaos. Very nicely decorated. Only complete I would have would be the squeaky bed. Every time you would move it would squeak.
Clean room, comfortable, updated, good wifi, extremely easy check in process, even when i arrived at 4am. Much better than comparably priced hotels in the area (if you find one).
Booked a stay with my dogs last week when the policy on the site still stated that the hotel was pet-friendly (I notice that policy has now been updated to show "service animals only"). The check-in process was a little convoluted but managed to figured it out. The property manager asked for my ID over text and only then did they let me know that dogs were not allowed. Had to cancel on the spot -- because I'm not going to try to hide the fact that I have dogs with me -- and they said they would issue a refund to my card since they had already charged it.
Five days later and no refund, even after reaching out several times -- nobody has made any attempt to contact me to explain the situation or try to make it right. They have gone completely dark. It seems they are just taking my money without providing the service, so I have had to resort to filing a dispute with my bank to get my money back.
Very disappointing, very poor customer service. Will not stay here even if I don't bring my dogs next time, because who knows what other policies they have incorrect on partner sites such as Travelocity?
I showed up alittle after 3pm the place closed at 3pm which I didn't know until I arrived. It clearly stated that check in wasn't until 3pm so I don't really understand why the check in & office closing was at the same time. So I had to go get a different room somewhere else.
