Not a good experience
Not a good experience. There were two condom containers left in the room by the night stand upon our arrival the first night. On the second night, there were no towels in the bathroom, and someone had left their half empty bottle of soda on the desk. All of this after the room had been "cleaned" and ready for occupancy.

So So
The check in was unpleasant. The room was not that clean. The hot tub was cold, and the breakfast was terrible.

Good for the price
Clean room, friendly staff, nice breakfast area, good place for the money. On the bad side, a fair amount of road noise, the TV remote was in bad shape.

Ok
It was clean and friendly service just looks like the place is still the same as it was in the 1970's.

not great
when I first arrived my daughter was waiting for me from another location , she stayed in her car because ther were men out there drinking beer and stareing at her , I arrived got out of my car to greet her the men were grumbling something under their breath , we ignored them we checked in our room to find that it had been recently used the beds were messed up , one bed was off its foundation and there was an unmade cot in there the clerk changed our room without a problem when we returned to our car to get our things the men were still out there drinking and were asking us to party ,again we ignored them. Later we went to go into the hot tub it was clean but the clorine was so intense we could not stay in it our skin burned as well as our eyes . The staff was friendly , the lobby was clean but I wont return because the other things made a bad impression.
