Not as presented.

This hotel was misrepresented on the website. It was an older outdated hotel with no pool. The rooms were small and the a/c was loud. I could hear the guest in the room beside mine snore all night and the overall area of the hotel was dirty, loud and unfavorable. The staff was nice and helpful when possible. The location to our destination was the only real positive about this stay. Disappointed to say the least.

The staff was great and breakfast was good. The rooms could use some updates but for the price I can't really complain. A chair in the room would be nice. Sitting on the bed was hard when you're short like me.

Hospitality can't make up for it

While the staff was friendly and accommodating, it does not overcome the fact that this hotel is rundown and not well maintained. If you do choose to stay here, as it is close to the base, bring ear plugs to block out the highway noise.
