Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The room was cramped and very basic. A second story room was our only option with no elevator available. This can be an issue for seniors or anyone with mobility issues. Staff was very friendly and helpful - the one true standout. The room wasn't dirty - just felt tired. Heard road noise all night. While it wasn't exactly an expensive room it did feel overpriced for what was provided. We'll be shopping for other options next time.

Perfect stay!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was a great stay. However, when I arrived I used the bathroom. I sat on the toilet for some time, then stood up and saw a spider in the toilet. Having realized I was just exposed to the little guy, I felt uncomfortable. He could have crawled into my butt or worse. The beds were comfortable and the breakfast smelled good when we checked out.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. However, the room smelled like cigarettes and the bed creaked every time I moved. The breakfast selection was very limited and the cereal was stale.

This hotel is old and needing upkeep. Bathroom was very small. Furniture in need of restoration. Beds were squeaky. Mirror and art work hung crooked. On the plus side, it was inexpensive. Staff were friendly. Food was hot. It was a quiet night. It is very close to the interstate and restaurants. It served its purpose, if your goal is to get a quick stop and a nights sleep and some food in the morning.
