This was the first affordable hotel I ever stayed in that left the air conditioner in the room on at a reasonable temperature so that the room wasn’t scolding hot when you got there and you had to wait for it to cool down

We were in town for a wedding, so only spent time in the room to sleep and eat breakfast before checking out. There was a lot of construction going on in the area, which was a bit inconvenient, but that had nothing to do with the facility. While some upgrading could be done, we felt that it was clean and comfortable to sleep.

We had a good stay. There was road construction that made it a little difficult to get in and out of the parking lot. There wasn't any meat for breakfast, but was plenty to eat. The breakfast room was kept clean.

This property was a good stay. We had a dog and they gave us a room right next to an exit. Very quiet. The gal at the desk was absolutely amazing. Anything that was needed, she provided. The maids do a great job at keeping the place clean. It does need updated. The trim areas around the lower walls in the rooms are starting to fall apart. The shower caulking is peeling up. But for the condition of the the hotel, it is kept clean. The area is pretty quiet. There are a few suspect individuals that were roaming around outside from time to time but they didnt seem to be up to anything. I would also recommend planning breakfast elsewhere, especially if you have kids as the breakfast is very limited. All in all its not a bad place.

Upon entering the room it smelled of mist or mold. Chairs in the room were stained. Lots of construction workers stay here during this the work week probably because of the price. But they have done a number on the cleanliness of the rooms. Would not stay here again.
