A handle was broken on one of the cabinets. You could also really hear people in the hallways and next door. Large pot holes in parking lot. But the beds were comfy and having a big fridge was nice.

Cigarette burns on the comforter. There was a fight in the lobby that had to be broken up. The app said there was free breakfast but we couldn’t find where that would have been nor were we told there was one upon check in. It is a place to sleep with 4 walls if that’s all you require.

The pool was unaccessible from the building we were in. The person who put in the flooring did not do a good job. There are gaps between the planks. The kitchette was fine, but there were no dishes like the pictures suggest. I would still stay there again.

Do not stay here
This hotel had access through a flying j truck stop only. The view was the trucking parking lot. The outside door was unlockable as the lock was broke! It was the most unsafe feeling we have ever felt at a hotel.

Outside doors not secured. Only 3 small bath towels provided. No dishes in room. Minimal airflow in room, so humid towels didn't dry when hung overnight. Dogs barking down the hallway. Beds are not comfortable for 2 people. Vacuuming in hallways at 830pm. Cleanliness inside room was acceptable, hallways felt dirty.

Stayed here multiple times. Usually really clean in the rooms. Area is next to a truck stop and freeway so it can feel a little unsafe as a young woman but I’ve never had issues.
