It’s basically an overpriced Motel 6. Rooms are old, finish was full of scaring on the dresser/stand, and top mattress had stains. They didn’t have any coffee out front at ~10:00am (completely drained). In all reality, I’ve stayed at nicer Motel 6s.

Single women traveling from out of town should be offred a room in the main building. I was in room on the end and outside. i was aproached by many people just walking by my door. the heat register did not shut off and the air conditioning did not work. the room was hot, the windows were painted shut and the door to my room was on the main drag. I could not leave my door open for air, due to safety reasons, and temperature regulation in the room was impossible.

Okay stay.

The room was small but clean. It was a little sketchy with a window that had been duct taped previously, but untaped. It would not close all the way. We heard someone yelling outside the room threatening to beat someone up. The check-in was okay. Someone (not us) had cancelled our reservation, even though I had secured it with our card. Luckily they had a room available. The person who checked us in was very nice and sweet. She was very helpful. The lobby area was nice. The breakfast the next morning offered waffles, cereal, yogurt, and I believe pastries. It was standard and okay.
