Look somewhere else!!

Absolutely terrible! Probably the worst location within 25 miles. Plus, the walls are PAPER thin. We heard our neighbors on each side and above us all night. Motorcycles and loud trucks went flying by outside all night keeping us awake also. The door must be paper thin as well because we got woken up at 7am from our neighbors leaving their rooms. You hear every word being said in the hallway and every bag that rolls by. The hotel also needs some work, it just doesn’t feel clean and it is not somewhere I’d ever go back to. We couldn’t wait to leave and we were afraid to park our car in the parking lot for fear of it being broken into.

The property is nice, worth the cost when its under $150 a night. My only issue with the property is that the towels didn't smell clean at all. Luckily we bring our own towels from home and just used theirs for wiping the counters and things like that. And there was no microwave in my room.

Spend a little more for a better stay

Seemed very average for an inexpensive over night stay. Typical dust and poor cleaning. Found a half full baby bottle under the bed (not ours) very few amenities. I would choose a different hotel for a little extra money
