the staff were super helpful, they allowed me to check in a few hours early (with a call ahead). parking was not a hassle and getting to my room was fine, but it was noisy at night, the door to our room was worrisome as you could hear and see on the inside but on the outside it looked normal. in all honesty i probably would stay again there is absolutely nothing better (i know there’s worse).

Rhonda

Disliked: Amenities
Room smelled very fresh. At our location (room 105) it was very noisy with people. The room was situated in front of three handicap parking spaces where we couldn't even park our car but others parked there to unload at all hours of the night. The door had a gap even when locked and the roar from the highway was always audible. The coffee was flavorful but ended at 9:00 a.m. Hotel situated close to a waffle House, an Asian restaurant and a taco stand that made delicious tacos.
