First we started in room 305 the air didn't work. The guy at the front desk claimed to fix it and said we could change rooms in the morning. The other room we rented for our daughter had a guy with a backpack every morning and night knocking on the door. All the doors on the 3rd floor. The location is convenient and the staff are nice but stay at your own risk.

Room had stains on walls, carpet had water damage and the rooms smelled awful. Police arrived late saturday night to break up a party, which was very disrupting. The neighborhood was overrun by homeless and drug addicts asking for money. I would rather sleep in my car at a rest stop than stay here again.

Do not stay here!

This hotel was disgusting. We requested to change rooms 2 times! The entire floor reeked of cigarette and marijuana smoke. The shower was moldy and dirty. The bed linens were covered in stains.

Don't let the price fool you...

This hotel seemed like a fair-enough stay for an "inexpensive" price, considering neighboring options... however the cleanliness and property is absolutely gross. We checked in late after a long drive to find sketchy people walking around the parking lot, and upon entering our room found dirty underwear, and other items left behind from the last occupants. The entire room smelled like cigarettes and funk. Upon bringing it up to the manager the next morning (who apologized) he mentioned that people had called out and that was why the status of the rooms looked how they did. We paid over $200 for this room (which we were in for less than 6 hours) and were not offered any kind of reimbursement... but he did say he left the buffet open for 30 extra minutes, lol. We declined eating anything on-property. Had it not been 3:30am upon arrival, we would have left and found something else. These pictures don't do it justice. The area is fine enough, but this property needs a MAJOR clean up.

Wonderful staff, very helpful and welcoming

The staff was very helpful, the front desk made our family feel welcome and even joked with the kids (10&11). Breakfast was a good variety and had healthy vegan options as well. Everything was presented up front and there were no surprises. Quiet even though right by the highway, you could not hear outside until it rained.
