It's a fairly inexpensive place to spend the night; it's not the most comfortable, but it's acceptable. Unfortunately, during several nights I spent there, the hot water didn't work, the TV channels didn't always work, and the sink had a leak. Another thing that caught my attention was the lack of courtesy and attentiveness of the staff. If you're looking for a place to stop and rest before continuing on your way, they might be able to accommodate you.

We decided to cut our valentine's weekend short due to the weather and its continued deplorable conditions that were being forecast. Called to cancel our reservation as a courtesy knowing we wouldn't receive our money back. The woman was extremely rude and in instisted I couldn't cancel. I finally said, "Well we will not be there and hung up." I never asked for any money back she was immediately just defensive and ride saying, "u can't cancel."

The place appeared clean at first sight. I ended up with 2 cockroaches on my nightstand, so I slept with the lights on. The sink produced hot water, but I could get nothing over 60 degrees out of the shower. I tried the handle in every position and kept it running for roughly 15 minutes. I ended using a wash cloth with the hot sink water to wash up after a very uncomfortable stay. 2 containers of identical off-brand Cheerios were offered along with Styrofoam muffins for breakfast.

Spend a little more and get a better place

Not very happy with my experience here. When I got there the TV did not work I had to call the front desk and they had to walk me through how to get it going. The next day when I woke up I took a shower and there was no hot water. I let the hot water run for like two minutes and it was still not hot. So I decided to take a cold shower and after I was done I called the front desk and they said the cold is the hot and the hot is the cold and you need to let it run for five minutes. I don't feel that it was worth $188 for one night sleep.
