The hotel was dark and worn. Room heat/air conditioner was very loud, as was the refrigerator. The shower head had weak water flow. No streaming options on TV other than casting from phone.

We didn’t stay, booked online after trouble with our vehicle heading to see our son graduate from his Navy Bootcamp training and had to turn around and find a hotel near the dealership. Picked this one.. come inside after making the reservation to be greeted by the most unfriendly lady I have met in my entire life. Lobby smelled terrible as well. This particular hotel will not let you stay if you live within a 30 mile radius. In addition the customer service is absolutely awful.

My room was very spacious and the staff wer nice. The only thing that I thought was weird is that it had a no locals policy so if you live within a 30 mi radius you can’t check in. I think it should be in bold whenever someone is booking it, but other than that great stay!
