It’s the great place to stop if you’re just passing through. I’m from Missouri and stop here for the night when I travel to the East Coast. The price is right. The rooms are clean and the people are friendly.

Decent stay.

The staff was great! Very friendly and nice. The room was a little different. No blankets and you had to keep the AC low just to keep the smell of the room down.

It was the cheapest place...that was closest to where we had to be. But wouldn't recommend taking kids there. Or pets. The bed was comfortable n the air-conditioning n cable worked. So it did it's purpose. But they need to teach the maids to actually clean.

We liked the location and having a minifridge and microwave, but we had bugs in our room and there was a leak in the toilet that made the bathroom floor wet. The pillows were flat.

This room had been rented by smokers and so am allergic to smoke. There were burn marks in the bathroom and cigarette burns on the bedspreads. I also saw a roach this morning when we were packing to leave. The walls need to be repainted as there are stains everywhere. They had heavy plastic on the mattresses which I appreciated so as not to get bed bugs.However, even though they had a mattress pad on top of the plastic, we were both drenched in sweat upon awaking due to the plastic. All in all, it was bad

The good and bad!!

Bad part: Wooden floors were dirty, sheets stained, Bathroom horrendous, dirty, rust, paint all over the floor, found long brown hair on the shower wall. Found stains on comforter. microwave did not work. Curtains were missing hooks to hold them up. Terrible smelling soap to wash with. Sink was clogged. Found spiders behind bed!! Could have used more pillows. Good part: Very hot water, fridge and freezer worked, Very accommodating giving me fresh sheets and more towels. Cold air-conditioning. Had internet access. TV worked. Watched the Browns game!! We lost. And it was a cheap rate. But now I know why!!
