The food is OK toppings for the waffle. The breakfast area has an old smell to it so that area needs to be remodeled upgraded to enjoy the food that is being provided for us. Why we asked our will stay. The rooms are basic what we pay for we get cleans Quiet affordable. It’s convenience right by the highway two to three miles from foods spots to really choose from.

No elevator

We use this hotel frequently for our trip down to Florida. It was convenient and economical. This was my first time using hotels.com to reserve a room and was upset when I was not on the first floor. However, I must not have read all the options to request that service. Steve tried to offer me a free gift, but I was tired and crabby and didn’t want to walk up any stairs due to no elevator. I learned my lesson to make sure to either ask if there’s elevator access or request a first floor room.

Not so great

So I want to start off by saying the people that work there are kind and courteous at check-in as well as check out. Unfortunately the hotel is very dated, it could use a better cleaning and some definite updating. The walls are paper thin and you could smell people next door smoking weed as well as cigarettes coming into our room so I had allergies all night and the next morning. We didn't say anything till check out because we did not want trouble as it was a Saturday night and there were some people that did not look very safe saying there because you could tell they were very high. The lobby is very nice looking but the rooms are just really outdated, the sheets had holes all in them, the pillows are thin and cheap. When you walk down the Halls it will give you a feel of the movie The Shining. They are very stingy on towels in the room . The only vending machine on the first floor of two floors does not work correctly . Again the people that work there are great they were very apologetic for the night before and they said they were sorry that some people just can't follow the rules. I would not stay here again.

No elevator service, so if you have a lot of stuff to bring into your room, ask for the first floor--something I rarely do but wish I had.

Simple Place for 1 Night Stay

Stayed here for the night with my wife & 2 kids over the summer. Quick & Simple place right off the Interstate we were traveling on. We stayed on a Saturday night & it was quiet--no crazy parties! Pool was outside, but nice. Large hotel w/ plenty of rooms. Staff was very nice & helpful too.
