I go to check in and was told they need a $50 cash deposit. So someone who doesnt use cash i had to pay another $2.75 to use there ATM. If they want you pay $50 cash it should be advertised on the booking app. Get to the room pretty spacious. The heater is very loud and makes noise even when off. I like to take a bath and there was no plug in the tub. Needs more outlets in the room to charge. No clock in room either.

A good value for the money. Easy access to the highway. There's a Denny's across the parking lot which had a nice Christmas dinner available. Also The Bethlehem Diner for breakfast was excellent. Would definitely stay here again.

Think twice

It was the less expensive of a hotel on my route. Honestly, I'll pay a little more next time to bypass this establishment. The workers seemed fearful of patrons...making the stop uncomfortable. One needed a cash deposit with no exceptions. And handily, there was an ATM next to the counter. When checking out, there was a window covered in paper. The person slightly opened it slightly and had to holler for communication. Not so traveler friendly by a long shot.

There were bugs in the room. The shower curtain was moldy. The bathroom stunk. There are a limited number of electrical outlets. THERE WAS NO PLACE TO PLUG IN A CPAP MACHINE. I am not a picky person, so take my suggestion, STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE. There are plenty of hotels in the area. This is the worst place, in the US, that I have stayed in.

Needs a good cleaning

Overall, the stay was okay. They met our needs, however, the place was not well maintained. They never cleaned our room while we were there. The lid to the toilet belonged to another toilet bowl. The shower was dirty and had scum from lack of cleaning. it was close to the airport and shops. the location was great. But the place can benefit from a good cleaning and an update.

Sticky carpets, peeling paint, mold stained caulk and a combination shower/bathtub without a stopper is just a shower you need to step over a wall to get into. Do any hotels clean and make up your room anymore? This one didn't.
