Lewis

Disliked: Amenities
You get what you pay for. This is an older facility that has had some minor upgrades. The linens were mostly clean, I returned a couple of pillowcases. The furniture was worn and the tub/shower looked like a war had happened in it. The door wouldnt completely lock so we blocked it with a sofa. If you want cheap, under $100 a night, and just a mostly clean bed. . . There are lots of better options in the area.

Great value

A no frills hotel that was clean, comfortable, close to tons of restaurants. A great value for the price. No carpet for the allergy travelers which was nice after 2 weeks of carpeted hotels.

Clean and perfect for one night on the road

Easy convenient check in. Clean room. The tub did not have a plug to take a bath but otherwise comfortable and meeting all needs. Lots of franchise food options but we drove four miles to Michael’s for an OK dinner. Trying to support local restaurants…

Would not recommend

The ONLY nice thing about this hotel was the guy at the front desk. I’m not a picky person but the room was terrible. Stains on the bedspread w/ mattresses that were full size on queen size platforms. Not comfortable and squeaky when you moved. Furniture outdated and in poor shape. No need to go on…. we left at 2:00 am.

There were alot of vagrants roaming around. The front desk attendant was very nice, helpful, and pleasant. The room was what you'd expect it to be. Late the last night I stayed there some guy upstairs caused a ruckus so loud the law was called. Sounded like he broke into the room above me and was slamming the furniture around yelling and screaming. Stomping on the floor. Other than that my stay was ok I guess.
