First noticed truck w transmission out of it. Broken entrance doors, damp musty room. No coffee. Looks like people live there. Hallway carpet was greasy. No complimentary items or vent in bathroom.

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.
