Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was poorly maintained. Dirt in a/c vents, blowing out. Walls weren’t painted properly with scratches, etc everywhere. Bed frame was worn out and made terrible noises whenever you moved. Would not recommend to anyone. We had not choice but to stick it out and get on our way. For a Choice Hotel, the check in person just laughed when we check in, for being a member!!

This is a great place if you just need to lay your head down . Don’t expect breakfast or anything fancy. There is fresh coffee in the morning and the staff is very friendly.
