The room was clean and the staff was friendly. Unfortunately there were bed sheets out in a pile down the hall from my room and what looked like a shower curtain was in a crumple by my door. They had a sign in the elevator to please not place trash outside in the hallways...it wasn't the cleanest hotel I've been too.

Worth the stay

The staff was friendly and helpful and the hotel had good amenities, but I didn't use many of them. I had the pool in mind when I booked it, but it was out of service when I got there (should have read earlier reviews). The breakfast was normal hotel food, not great but adequate. Coffee was decent. The location was great, near the highway but very quiet. I would definitely stay there again but there's a few things people should know. Most rooms don't connect to the lobby; you have to go through the courtyard to get there. I didn't mind it, but it wasn't raining and I didn't have kids to worry about. There are no ice machines, but there was fresh bags of ice at the front desk (even better). There was no phone in my room (weird but front desk said there should have been one). It's pet friendly and the few pets I met were friendly. And housekeeping service is only if you stay a week or more, but fresh linens and towels are available at the front desk (this didn't bother me either). For the price, it was a great value, very spacious, clean, good location, nice people. It had all I wanted except the pool (but hey, things happen and you roll with it).

Staff was wonderful! We had a large group with 7 rooms and they made the check-in process seamless! Every time we came and went they were warm and welcoming. Hotel is a little worn and could use some updates. Room was clean and quiet with everything you would need and the bed was comfortable (pillows were so comfy!!). Bathroom leaves a lot to be desired but the water pressure was amazing! I would stay again, it felt safe and the area is convenient with Walmart and restaurants within a mile.

Our pull out sofa was never cleaned. It had sprinkles and legos in it and the one matress cover that was on it had spaghetti or some sort of sauce on it. It is pet friendly and there is visible dog hair on the sofa. It smells like animals. They don’t sweep under the cushions. The beds felt like sleeping on coffee tables. Staff was very friendly but Would not stay there again.

Check in was excellent - Jen had a map ready with directions to my room and was friendly. The hotel does show some age but I have definitely seen worse - some carpets in the hallways could use a good cleaning or replacing. Breakfast was decent for hotel food.
