Look this is a ok hotel but it is old and the ratings on line of 10/10 must be wrong. It is more of a 8/10 at best considering the price. The second room we got was clean and the TV offered many different options. The first room was not as nice and the AC smelled like sour milk but they moved us. It’s ok but price should be comparable to super 8.

We really enjoyed our stay! From the warm and welcoming check-in to walking into a clean, comfortable room where we slept soundly, everything was wonderful. Breakfast the next morning was fantastic, and the overall hospitality and cleanliness truly stood out — something we don’t often experience as much as we’d like in our travels. We also had our little dog with us, and the staff was so kind and sweet in acknowledging her. We have nothing but praise. Thank you for such a great experience!
