Scary place! No bathroom ventilation therefore paper peeling off the walls. Ceiling tiles brown and dingy. Place resembled a crack house neighborhood. Spent only 1 night. Woke up to police cars the following morning! Got the hell out of there. Place generally smells of manure, but I saw no cows or other livestock. You get what you pay for. I have learned. Never again.

The room was clean the couple nights. I see there, they also allow pets, which is nice for pet lovers. The parking is good for truck drivers versus regular people. The air of ventilation is good. They have a bathroom window. You can open up as well as an AC to kind of like get the air flowing through if you wanna like kind of air out your room. Also, I like the fact that they have smoking and non-smoking for people who do like to smoke. It makes it comfortable further stay which is not allowed in a lot of facilities. Overall a decent place to stay is the Access on and off the highway also
