    Pros +

    • Close off the highway
    • It was a place to sleep.
    • The location & the price.

    Cons -

    • It?s advertised with breakfast and no breakfast and clerk quoted me a lower price had I booked directly with them. Mattresses were poorest quality, no cups for water, fridge hardly cool in its coldest setting. Only good was air conditioning.
    • The pool pictures online are not accurate. Got there and the pool was almost empty. Didn't look like they had used it in a while. Also there was NO BREAKFAST! If you just need a place to sleep for the night it is all you get.
    • The hotel should not be allowed to advertise that breakfast is included. The "continental breakfast" is a Rice Krispie bar & a tiny mimi-muffin.

    Nothing. The woman at the front desk who claimed she was the owner tried to charge me twice and then refused me a room telling me I had to leave.

    Stained sheets, young folks partying in parking lot, old furniture, no breakfast, smelly building, microwave was dirty, we slept in our clothes and left before dawn as neither slept much. Felt uneasy the whole time there. I have never felt like this befor

    Convenience to the freeway & staff was friendly

    The stairwells smelled of urine & cigarette smoke and the carpet was filthy! Room was OK.

    5KevinPosted on: 5-22-2022

    Price was cheap, and location is right off interstate. Room was not bad was actually clean. I will note that I asked to see the room before I checked in. I might have got the cleanest room. Will stay here again when passing through here.

    Hotel is dated. There was coffee in the lobby but was not fresh or hot. Still no breakfast because of Covid. This was my second stay here in the last 6 months.

    There was a hole in the wall stuffed with tissue, the chair was stained and disgusting with holes, curtains were torn at the top, I could see through to the outside around the heat/ac unit. I could feel the springs in the mattress. It was awful.

    We liked the comfort of the beds along with the bathroom and fridge.

    The lady at the front desk took a long time to come up, it seemed as though she was sleeping. She was very rude. Also our TV didn¿t work.

    Run down hotel. Should be condemned. Bed was like a rock and pillow cases were yellow Left window open and flies in room because there was no screen on the window. During a shower the water didn't drain down so you were standing in dirty water and the

    The clerk was not pleasant to deal with. Upon walking in there was a musty odor and unfortunately it spread through the entire hotel. No sooner than we got to our room, we decided not to stay due to the smell. Would highly recommend staying elsewhere.

    7Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 9-3-2017

    We were only there for one night and for the price...it was great.

    It had a musty smell on the main floor but was clean.

    The fridge was controlled by the light switch, so food was not refrigerated. I was told "a customer changed it". Yet the power-strip could not reach another plug. Additionally the tub was slow to drain. The blankets are thin and worn.

    It was very quiet. The girl the very first night was very friendly

    The breakfast was disgusting the pools water was green. The hotel manager called the room at 9am to see when we were leaving and check out was at 11

    Hotel has a very noticeable cigarette odor everywhere. Hallways and rooms smell like cigarette even though most seem to be marked no smoking.

    Price was good.

    Hotel was dated with signs of wear and tear.
