The room and hotel were pretty standard. There was a lot of confusion on check in because I had multiple rooms. It all worked out. It was a convenient location.

Room was clean and quiet. Beds were comfortable. The shower/toilet really needs to be updated. The shower is so old and there is zero water pressure and toilets are very old and stained. The rates are high for this area so it'd be nice to have some water pressure and clean toilets. Besides that, it's a great location and we would stay here again.

The woman that checked us in was very nice however the quality of hotel and room was less than expected. The minute we walked in something was off, it was bad enough to bring in blankets and towels from our car to cover the sheets with. As we started to get ready to sleep, there was 2 spiders crawling on the sheets, after that we decided to check out early and make the drive home through the night.
