So I reserved our room before reading reviews because I saw it had an overall good star rating and was reasonably priced. As we got closer I read some reviews and got nervous. Some people mentioned surroundings being questionable, dirty room, and bugs. Upon our arrival we were greeted by the manager and proptly assisted with our check in. He was very courteous. Our room was nice. Had enough modern updates, was clean, and very comfortable. I stripped back the blankets and such to check for dirt etc... and found nothing but perfectly clean white sheets! My family slept well. TV worked, shower had great water pressure and temperature. My only complaint is that the shower head was low... but I am tall, so it was no big deal. Thanks for a great stay, we'd definitely book again if passing through!
