This hotel is a little older but had everything we needed for an overnight trip. Clean room, comfortable couch to sit and relax, tv (but not many good channels) pretty comfortable bed and kitchen space. Breakfast was nothing special but there were a few choices. I would stay there again for an overnight.

This hotel is pretty run down. The toilet was not fastened to the floor. We were in a non smoking room but it smelled like smoke. Someone was lighting fireworks in the parking lot until late in the evening.

Disliked: Amenities
Strong smell of marijuana smoke in ground floor hallway. Seemed like a family who was living there never closed their doors and screamed whenever I walked my dog past their room to take her outside. My dog is harmless but when someone screams it makes her jump. Trashcan outside back door always full of food bags. I was given specific instructions to keep my dog off the furniture and the only place she could be walked was in the very back of the hotel. My dog is very well behaved but there should be rules for the people in the room by the side door to observe the non-smoking rule (especially smoking pot in the room) as everyone else does. The smell was overwhelming and not in a good way.
