Check in was great, staff was super friendly. Came back after our 4th celebration and our tv wasnt working. Tried calling the front desk to have it fixed and the lady(different gal then at cueck in) proceeded to argue with me telling me to do all the things i told her many times we had already tried, she wouldn't listen and refused to come fix it until i finally got fed up and asked for her name and advised her i would just talk with management instead. We were just trying to unwind for the night with a little tv. I had 3 teens with me course they wanted to watch some tv. The toilet in the room was just nasty, the fridge wouldn't shut unless u pulled up on it since they had it sitting in a tray with a lip on it. The breakfast wasnt a buffet just a couple crockpots with sausage links and scrambled eggs that all were from a microwave and then just cereal and toast. I mean its a small hotel so i guess a small breakfast its unusual. Beds were decently comfy and the room has a stove top and kitchenette area which would be great for extended stays. Would stay here again if had to but wouldn't want to deal with the lady from the night shift ever again.

The hotel and staff I dealt with were kind and friendly during our stay. However, I left a pair of shoes in our room that have custom insoles. When I spoke to the front desk they couldn’t find them. I’m very disappointed that whoever cleaned the room didn’t turn them in. I realize I am at fault for leaving them but just wish people were honest and would do the right thing. Be aware. I also contacted the manager via email but got no response!

Affordable stay, great staff, and pretty clean property! Personally my sink could have used a little more cleaning and there’s some minor details that could be fixed. But other than that very good!

Pretty good!

Very friendly staff. Parking lot was in the middle of being resurfaced so parking was a bit inconvenient. Room was clean, all amenities worked. Although, the walls are a bit thin. Thin enough that I could hear someone snoring in the next room. One thing I’m curious about is the pricing. I decided to extend my stay for another night, and it was only $78. My first two nights cost $237 through hotels.com, so why such a big price difference?

This hotel isn’t new. I was a little concerned when I pulled in. The furniture isn’t new but the room was spotless. There is a full size fridge and toaster as well as a microwave. The shower hat hot water and great pressure. The staff was friendly, kind and accommodating. No matter what they were doing they helped me right away with a gracious manner. It’s my opinion that anyone that gives this hotel a low rating has forgotten what they paid for the room. Very nice. Especially for the price. I will stay here next time I’m in town.
