I didn’t expect much going in as it’s on the older side of the interstate. It was however extremely clean in addition to being the best price in an area full of motel choices. I would definitely stay there again if I pass through the area.

Disappointed

I have stayed here before and had a decent time at this hotel, but this time I was disappointed because the front desk person was not friendly at all. She didn’t ask if I needed more than one key to my room. She only said the room was on the right side of the building. She also didn’t say that they didn’t serve breakfast I had to read it on a board in the lobby. Also upon checking out she didn’t offer a receipt she said you booked online and I had to ask for a receipt. It was only one night but I don’t think my family and I will be staying there again.

OK for an overnighter

Hotel needs a facelift inside and out. While bed was comfortable enough overall the place felt dingy. They appeared to be working on painting inside of some rooms and hope outside will also get some attention. Person who checked us in was lacking personality.

NOT A FAMILY PLACE!!!!

Completely disgusting. White smeared stuff on the mirrors in room, bed has white stains and burn holes, smelled like smoke although it was supposedly non smoking. We couldn’t even stay the night. Asked for a refund via Hotels.com, the Hotel refused to give a refund. I was not going to put my family in that situation, so we stayed next door at the Fairfield Inn and Suites. Do not book this place, you won’t get a refund. The lady at the check in was also completely rude. She rolled her eyes when we gave our key back and told her how it was gross.
