Great little stop for a great price.
Very clean, when we walked in the front door to check in, I smelled bleach. When we walked into our pet friendly room, I smelled bleach, all good things, which tells me they are disinfecting! Our room, especially for being pet friendly was super clean, zero issues with that, which is HUGE. The worker let us keep the pool open an hour extra so all the kids could enjoy the pool, which was also awesome. They have vending machines with actual food, cold items, ice cream, lots of options without having to leave hotel. The only thing I wished they would have had was soap, shampoo and breakfast. Otherwise, great little stop for a great price.

An exterior door to the court yard was off the hinges and blocked off by yellow tape. Windows hard broken blinds visible from outside. Overall dirty and dilapidated. Right next to a truck stop people milling about the parking lot, openly drinking and intoxicated. This is a place no one should ever stay at, unless you are involved in trafficking!

It is close to most things you could want. But not really walking friendly, and the parking lot could use some work.

As has been my prior experience at this location. Everything was fine, staff was nice as usual. The only complaint I had was at check in, the room was not ready, I had to wait about 20 minutes so they could hurry up and get a room ready. This has happened to me before at this specific location.

They were still cleaning rooms at check in time. Some people had to come back at a later time. There was used feminine products in the parking lot. Chipped, missing, dirty tiles in the main hall. I wouldn’t stay there again.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and maintained. The building itself needed some updating which the staff indicated that they were working on it. Pool looked nice but we arrived after 9 pm so it was already closed.

Better than i expected.
This is a budget hotel, and as it was just me for one night i didnt want or need anything fancy. I was very pleased with tbe room layout and style. It honestly was better than i expected for the price. There were 2 lightbulbs burned out in the room, but honestly that didnt matter to me, i am sure they would have fixed them had i asked. Staff was pleasant. I would stay bere again without concern.
