Stay away

No hotel lobby. Checked in and drove around back and it was clear this hotel wasn’t wasn’t a hotel but rather a long term rental unit. Decided to leave without even checking into the room as this place wasn’t as advertised.

Long day with a more uncomfortable end

Got to room, without bed being redone from past stay. Debris in corner of the room, furniture in very poor condition. Could not be moved because there were no more rooms. Was not offered a refund and had to stay with no where else to go.

Our room's beds were clean and comfortable, but room itself was sketchy. No fire detector, floor looks like there was water damage and buckeled that someone tried to fix by using screws, the shower head is being held up by masking tape, curtains needed replacing. The place needs a good renovating. Coffee was great, though.

Worst Place

First of all the hotel is under remodeling and feels like floor put over top carpet,Trash can was not empty. The tub was stained and dirty,sink has no water pressure.There is no coffee pot in room states online free coffee and was never told where ice machine was or any kind vending machines to get cold water or soda or snacks.States online that offers breakfast I asked and they don’t have anything what so ever.For a hotel along busy highway I would not ever be retuning to this hotel I would never recommend it also…Unsanitary to be open while under remodeling,

Avoid this one!

One of the worst stays I ever had! In bad need of rehab. Would not give me hotel stay points. No breakfast but advertised as having one. A tent would have been better!
