Liked: Cleanliness
The room seemed clean, but a little outdated. We would have appreciated a coffee maker in the room. When we were checking out, the employee at the front desk was having a very loud phone conversation. We could not tell if it was another employee or a guest, but it was quite heated and awkward for us to witness.

We had a clean room with a good shower. It was an easy on/easy off the interstate with lots of parking. Staff as nice. A good plus was the availability of a luggage cart. The breakfast was ok. Waffles, bagels, cereal, coffee, muffins, etc. There was an excellent Mexican restaurant next door. We sat outside since the air conditioning was so cold, but the food was good.

Simple

Decent hotel fir the price. Simple, clean and quiet. We were there only 1 night and werent in the room very long. Staff was friendly, room was clean. My onmy complaint was the "accessible" room had a super deep bathtub with some rails in it. For someone like me with limited mobility i really had to struggle to get in there. Not very accessible. Breakfast was ok. It was the only.pic i remembered to take

I didn't like how dark it was. Limiter lighting in the room. The room smelled bad and had a weird minty smell and also a Febreeze plug-in , which smelled differently than the mint. The hallway reeked of marijuana and I believe it was coming from the room next to ours.

Sketchy

While the person at the front desk was friendly, the positives stop there. The location is very sketchy. The non-smoking area smelled of marijuana. There were multiple men waiting in trucks in the back parking lot. It didn't feel safe. The room itself had bright lights out the windows all night with no way to darken the windows or turn off those lights. The carpet of the room was sticky. I didn't want to touch anything in the room. I felt for the few families I saw in the hotel.

Definitely would return!

This hotel was impeccably clean! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotels.com app went down as I was paying, and there was an issue and they made sure they watched for double billing and took care of any situations that arose. All is in perfect shape. I would highly recommend staying here, it was the best Travelodge I’ve ever stayed in. Also, there was a lovely Mexican restaurant next-door and they were open until 10 and happy to serve!
