Great location, newer hotel with nice appearance, staff friendly, good breakfast, spacious room with full-size refrigerator and microwave. No utensils or dishes for the kitchen but the front desk provided plastic utensils, and Walmart is not far away. Too cold to use the pool, but the pool and hot-tub setting is nice. Would definitely stay there again.

It was good not great. I have stayed there a few times before. It has always been clean and comfortable at a good rate with great staff. My room was very clean and ready the 3rd time that I arrived at 11:00 at night. To qualify that, the 1st arrival was before check in, 2nd was 20 minutes prior. The people were great, but stressed, seemed understaffed. Parking was near non existent due to work crews and huge trucks. They were also quite noisy around 5:30 am. The woman fixing breakfast was great, especially running it on her own! She needed help. The place was a little run down, blinds broken, old tv stands, etc. Employees made the rating good, averaging everything out.

The hotel could use some Updating. Not very clean and very loud. The back door was open when I checked in which was unnerving. The whole set up was confusing

Smells like smoke upon entry. The room was extremely dirty, so was the bathroom. I had to clean it myself. The bathtub had hair in it and the sponge was black after cleaning. Prior to booking my reservation I contacted the front desk Hotel staff to ask about storage for my items and early check-in. Upon arrival, I was not granted early check-in. I was first instructed to leave my stuff in the Hotel lobby unsecured and unsupervised. After asking to speak with a manager, they allowed me to put my items in what looks like an old restaurant that is no longer open by the lobby. I had to put my refrigerated food items in a freezer not a refrigerator. In which it all froze. Upon check-in on Saturday, I asked to speak with the Hotel manager about these concerns given, I ask these questions prior to booking. I was informed that there’s no manager on duty on the weekends and the manager would reach out to me on Monday. My intentions were to also speak with the manager about my disability and health condition. In the event, The ambulance needs to be called due to being on chemo, I needed to make sure that my insulin would be stored safely that is kept in my room. The second day of staying in the hotel my insulin froze in the refrigerator. It is now spoiled and not viable. That’s $5,000 worth of insulin down the drain. Every front desk person I’ve spoken to has not escalated my concern. They only put a note on my account. I’m very disappointed in this experience.
