Disliked: Amenities
Staff was nice but the location and overall appeal of this lodging is questionable. Cheap overnight lodging for an individual but definitely not a place where I would feel safe bringing my family or a coworker. Does not have the amenities or appeal, can hear people in other rooms around you. Not even sure if there is WIFI but I did not get a password at check in and did not want to walk outside at night to go ask the staff for it. I think it is what it is, cheap lodging.

This place was a complete s... hole. It was a war zone outside. The inside was disgusting to look at. It reeked of stale cigarette smoke. I could not even stay in the room. I drove the two and a half hours home instead of spending a night in this dump. Stay away from this place.

When I checked in, I noticed it looked kind of sketchy. And about midnight I heard people walking around the parking lot. It was a bunch of homeless people looking in and underneath cars. I informed the front desk and he said they’re harmless. There was no way I could stay there so I left within 30 minutes of arrival
