Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room smelled very strongly of animal pee and there was a weird smell around the building that came in the vents at night, I also think someone was smoking in their room which the hotel has no control over of course. But other than that everything was great! We really enjoyed the space for the price, I’d stay here again if I knew it wasn’t going to smell like pee.

The hotel was conveniently located and offered an affordable rate, which made it a good choice for a short stay. However, not all amenities were available for guests to enjoy, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was an okay experience—suitable if you're looking for basic accommodations in a good location

I booked a two room suite online, when I arrived they put me in someone else’s room. A tiny single queen room. Had to go back to the desk to get things sorted. Finally got into my suite only to hear interstate traffic all night long. Not a place to stay if you want sleep.

When we enter our room, it smell like smoke. Like someone been smoking for years in there. The toilet was gross! No one had clean the bathroom and the toilet was awful. No tissue paper was in the bathroom. Just was horrible. I couldn't even sleep in there. I will never come back to this hotel.

Check in was excellent - Jen had a map ready with directions to my room and was friendly. The hotel does show some age but I have definitely seen worse - some carpets in the hallways could use a good cleaning or replacing. Breakfast was decent for hotel food.

Clean, but aged.

Clean place, but definitely shows its age. Our room was fairly humid. The staff was courteous and friendly and it was a nice place to stay for the price.

Staff was wonderful! We had a large group with 7 rooms and they made the check-in process seamless! Every time we came and went they were warm and welcoming. Hotel is a little worn and could use some updates. Room was clean and quiet with everything you would need and the bed was comfortable (pillows were so comfy!!). Bathroom leaves a lot to be desired but the water pressure was amazing! I would stay again, it felt safe and the area is convenient with Walmart and restaurants within a mile.
