Very nice man in the office. The room 104 was large and clean. Only issue I had was around 11 pm a family with some kids checked into and were out in room above me so those small kids running around was loud until they settled down. I would stay again

Clean and perfect for one night on the road
Easy convenient check in. Clean room. The tub did not have a plug to take a bath but otherwise comfortable and meeting all needs. Lots of franchise food options but we drove four miles to Michael’s for an OK dinner. Trying to support local restaurants…

Great value
A no frills hotel that was clean, comfortable, close to tons of restaurants. A great value for the price. No carpet for the allergy travelers which was nice after 2 weeks of carpeted hotels.

Would not recommend
The ONLY nice thing about this hotel was the guy at the front desk. I’m not a picky person but the room was terrible. Stains on the bedspread w/ mattresses that were full size on queen size platforms. Not comfortable and squeaky when you moved. Furniture outdated and in poor shape. No need to go on…. we left at 2:00 am.
