Mediocre

Routine stay on a road trip. It was mediocre. Blanket wasn't great, furniture stained if clean, being on ground floor meant we had to close the curtains which made it dark, etc. Functional to sleep for a night, but not a place one wants to go back to. The next night further up the road we were in a Hampton Inn. Lots of small things that made a similar size place nicer and more comfortable.

By looking at the property you would think it’s just okay of a place, nothing fancy but the first time I stayed here because of the cost, very reasonable$$$. The rooms are renovated, super nice inside, very clean and the beds are very comfortable!! I really like the place a lot, the hotel staff are always so friendly so now i always stay here on a regular basis:):)
