Finally found a place with a mini frig/freezer. We travel with a cooler to minimize food stops and usually lose the freezer pack after day 1. Beds comfortable, place was clean. According to some locals it is in a good part of town. Would definitely stay there again.

I travel a lot for anime and comic conventions to work the artist alley tables so I stay at a lot of affordable chain hotels and I have to say this is one of the most pleasant stays I've ever had! The staff were all super friendly and helpful, the room was very clean with no stale or stuffy smell which tends to be an issue at these types of hotels. None of the furniture or fixtures seemed like they were in need of renovation, everything was pretty modern and in good condition. And the breakfast was excellent!! Usually the complimentary breakfast at a lot of places is just pastries and cereal and maybe a waffle maker, but they had real eggs and breakfast sausage. I'll definitely be staying here again if I'm ever in the area for another event!

You could hear through walls and people walking on the floor above you. There was a hole under the door knob in my door that was plugged with a piece of wadded up toilet paper. When I removed the TP, I could see out into the hallway. Maybe fix the door permanently or get a new one? The TV didn't work in the first room I had. It's a run down place that you might want to stay in if you've been on the road for 12 hours and just need a place to sleep. It's a little better than the back seat of your car.

The hot breakfast was set up for 3 items. And one was empty at ten minutes to 7. They offered cream cheese, but no bagels and no english muffins. There were no waffles. A lot of counter space, but a lot of vacancies and not a lot of choices. This hotel got an eight rating on expedia, and that's why I selected it, but i'm disappointed now.
