My first room given wasn't ready. The bed wasn't made and the lights were on like someone just left. The second room was a free ungrade but the floors were filthy as if they were not mopped for awhile.

Pretty good for the money

When you pull up, you will wonder what you’ve gotten yourself into. The office looks like an old rental car lot. And it looks like you’re about to check-in to a seedy trucker motel. BUT…lo and behold, the rooms are clean, the bed was comfy, the TV was good, the shower was just fine and the bathrooms were clean. Front desk woman was as pleasant as could be. The place is a little beat up—not for a romantic weekend—but for one night it was pretty good for the money.
