It was a great place to stay after a hot day of driving with No a/c. It was nothing special and seemed a little old and worn. It was great for what we needed (air conditioned room, a shower, and a bed). Definitely not a terrible place, but nothing particularly special either.

Verified traveler

Disliked: Room comfort
Internet wasn't working, and their idea of troubleshooting was to just turn our wifi connection on our devices off and on. Then they said "I'm sorry, it doesn't seem to work," and left. No alternative offers, didn't say they were going to call their tech support or ISP or anything. Also, the toilet took approximately 10 minutes to refill after each flush, and the bed springs were very lumpy.
