Good rooms and breakfast, but lousy fitness center

Room was good. Fitness center needs attention. Elliptical machine made a clicking sound with each step. Recumbent bike tension could not be adjusted. TV remote was not working. No towels.

Great Affordable Stay for One Night

The hotel was clean and the lady at the front desk was friendly. Check in was super quick and easy. The room was in good shape. We were on the first floor and unfortunately could hear all the stomping feet above us at night while trying to fall asleep. If you're a light sleeper request a higher level. The continental breakfast was nice, especially the waffle maker. I did not use the pool or the gym. If you're looking for an affordable one night stay on a road trip, this is a good spot!

Pretty good.

Pretty nice and clean, except the sink had some weird brown stuff leaking down from it. It's not far from the Caverns, but on the other side of town from a lot of the good restaurants.

Construction in December 2024

There was loud banging or construction going on in the room above us late at night that was very disruptive to sleep. Otherwise, clean property with great amenities and breakfast.
