The front desk worker was very kind and explained things well when I checked in. When I entered my room; it smelled heavily of “wet dog”. I let the front desk worker know, and he apologized profusely, and changed me over to a suite for no extra charge. (Granted, the hotel was fully booked the night before I got there, and the hotel was very dog-friendly). I stayed two nights. There was a 24/7 diner a minute walk away from the hotel, as well as a grocery store and a Chili’s. There were some vagabonds that would walk around, and trash in the back parking lot; but I never felt in danger. Breakfast was actually pretty good. Biscuits and gravy were awesome. Scrambled eggs were fluffy and fresh. French toast sticks were kind of stale, but I still ate them! Juice was not good; from concentrate boxes. Ketchup packets were not refilled either morning I ate there. Coffee, tea, bagels, toast, omelettes, breakfast sausage (that was really good too). Vending machines and ice on all floors. (Drinks-only vending machines on second and third floors, with food and drink machines on the ground level.) Overall a good experience, especially for how reasonably priced it was. I only spent about $180 for two nights.

Would not stay again

Was difficult to get into. Had to go through Super 8 to get to parking lot. No hot tub even though I thought I had seen one advertised. Pool area was not well cleaned. Check in was easy and staff friendly. Coffee needs improvement. Breakfast was good unfortunately could hear the noise outside. The heat worked very well.
