Better hotel next door for similar price

Would not stay here again because of staff. At 8a, breakfast area was completely empty of food items. Our room was clean and very similar to low budget hotels although this hotel is not low budget.

The property was nice and clean. The staff was friendly. The breakfast was pretty good. The problem that I had was that our room was right next to the interstate and the trucks were extra loud. The other issue was that all of the doors slam loudly, which is pretty typical for most hotels, but the walls were pretty thin so it seemed much louder. The room was clean and pretty comfortable. Our overall stay was okay, but I was definitely ready to get home to get some good rest.

This is a new hotel so that means it is not worn out which is good. I’m surprised the reviews are so good because I stay at a lot of hotels. This one is fine but not great. I was given a room at the end of the building and I could hear the freeway all night. Didn’t bother me that much but it might others. The ‘full hot breakfast’ consisted of scrambled eggs, sausage patties, and potatoes. All served on paper plates and plastic knives and forks. At check out I had to go and find the staff who were hiding in the back. Two of them there and no one at the front desk. Rooms were clean. Everything worked. It’s near some good fast food and restaurants. But for what I paid I thought it could be better. Not a lot of choice in this part of the state.

Awesome

Check in was easy and smooth. First thing I noticed when I walked in was the smell. Clean and refreshing! The service was excellent. Nice friendly employees who answered all my questions. The room was immaculate. Spotless and it too smelled wonderful and clean. The beds were so comfortable it was like being at home. We will definitely be staying here again.

The hotel was very nice. Staff was super friendly. The only downside was that the hot breakfast wasn’t refilled and we were unable to have any even though breakfast was until 9:30 and we were there to eat at 8:30
