It’s an ok stay. Not too bad, not too good. I book there because it’s the closest one to where my husband works so we can visit him. Only complain is that the room we got tv didn’t work. Other than that it was fine. Close to Walmart, gas stations, restaurants, food trucks, and much more.

Checked in at 1230am. Front desk operator was okay. Not friendly but not rude. Got room 103 close so that was nice. Everything was okay except fridge. Gross. Definitely not looked at much less cleaned for sometime. The shower pressure and head was AMAZING. Breakfast was okay. I didnt eat any of it but spouse did. Pancakes, very dark toast, powdered scrambled eggs, muffins. No meat of any kind. We paid $100 for 1230 am to 10am same morning.

The advertised pictures do not match the rooms. Deferred maintenance is an issue. I waited at the front desk for 15 minutes while the clerk spoke with someone shopping for bulk pricing. Not sure why he couldn't check me in while he was on the call, since he wasn't using his computer. I finally said something, and, yes, he did two things at once. Spend 20 bucks more and stay anywhere else.
