I'm glad this little place is in business as it is near where I was visiting. The price is low, so don't expect fancy service, daily room cleaning is not on the agenda. But if you ask for something, they try to help.

I have been trying to get a refund, which i was charged twice. I have called and repeatedly was asked to leave my name and number and manager will be in at 12 noon to review and will contact us for a resolution. ThIS HAS NOT HAPPENED. This was our stay 1/31 thru 2/1, and still not have resolved anything. We call and call and it rings and hanga up!!! We want to call back and a refund. We have our bank statements to prove we were charged with $1 then twice the room rental.

Clean room and quite spacious. Only thing that I would complain about is the location of the AC unit and the wooden blinds. The AC unit was stuck behind the desk in the room so the air wasn’t really circulating enough. The wooden blinds didn’t really block out much of the sunlight in the morning.

While it’s nice to not have to pay for parking, it’s definitely a budget hotel, which helps make for perks like free parking and such. Conveniently located within walking of a handful of restaurants, also a perk. Lastly, very close to the highway - also awesome. I should add that the mattress and pillows were comfortable - always important!

I actually checked in and did not even sleep there. I did shower in the room but just did not sleep there. Upon check in there was a crazy, homeless person in the lobby that really made me uncomfortable so I just used the room to shower in the day but slept at my daughter's apartment on the floor. The room was neat and clean and updated, I just got weirded out by my initial experience.
