Son's Graduation from Basic Training
The room was small, dark and gloomy, dirty in spots, aged. The bathroom was tiny and stained with mildew. The beds advertised were queen they had full and worst of all the room had cockroaches. I had the worst sleep and the beds were hard only stayed the night because it was too late to cancel. We were out of there @ 7:30 am sharp!

Good stay except ... the extra door lock
The location was good since I was only in town for my son's graduation from basic training. The room was clean and they serviced the room while I was out. I'd read that they didn't so I felt I should point out that my experience was different. Helpful staff. My luggage was delayed and they were very good about updating me. The free breakfast was typical. The waffles were hot and fresh. I would have liked a yogurt or non-wheat based cereal option because of my food allergies. There was fresh fruit so I had that and coffee. My one concern was that my door inside latch lock was broken. Since the other locks worked I didn't request another room. The hotel was booked anyway for graduation. I'd ask the hotel to please make sure all locks are in good working condition.

If you are going for basic training graduation book your car when you book your hotel! I didn't and truly regret not doing so. ALL rental car services were out of cars when I arrived. I walked everywhere and was lucky enough to meet a sweet elderly couple who's grandson was in my son's company. They gave me rides to and from base. The taxi ride to and from the airport is $32 each way from the base. Reserve a car ahead of time instead.

Decent
Went for BCT graduation. Decent hotel, not the best area. Not really much going on close around had to go to other area of town for restaurants, entertainment. The continental breakfast was a bad joke, stale donut gems!

You get what you pay for
The motel (not hotel) was very small and adequate. After 10pm you have to check in at a window instead of the front desk. They had a queen size bed that look like the sheets hasn't been changed in days. The pillows were flat and the pillow cases were not clean. The TV was a 27" CRT and no VCR. There was Wifi throughout the hotel, but the front desk did not know the password to log on.

They really do travel alnight
The hotel was ok but it is located next to a well traveled street and you can hear the big trucks all night. This is not a place for a light sleeper.
