Never Again
The classic example of “you get what you pay for”. Room was not clean with small hairs on the edge of the tub, and don’t expect the man at the desk to want to give you any help whatsoever if you have a problem. Stay here at your own risk.

In a pinch sure.
Good location. Room was okay. However bathroom was dirty and tub was dirty and drain was broken. Staff came into my room while I was out to dinner and took the AC controller. Side by side Rooms share an AC, because I turned it off and the other room wanted it on the remote was removed from my room. Staff member that entered my room felt no explanation was needed. When I asked for the remote back so I could manage the room temp, I was given attitude.

Absolutely disgusting! All they did was make the beds and spray some fabreeze. The floors, bedding, counters and fixtures were so dirty and gross. It looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. The mirror, doors and walls were disgusting. There’s also paint chips and speckles on everything. The ironing board had smeared boogers on it. The desk, dresser and nightstand had dried sticky residue. This place deserves 0 stars. I even found mouse poop. The check-in staff was sitting in the lobby on his phone when I arrived. I greeted him first and was at the counter before he even stood up. He said nothing at all, didn’t even explain breakfast times or anything at all. It was also noisy as heck!! You could hear the TV and people in the next rooms until almost 3am. For a place that has 300 rooms and not many guests you could at least clean a freaking room and space out people. DONT STAY HERE.

Room was overall dirty. Air conditioner dripped water all over the desk and floor. Floor was wet. Front desk staff wasn’t concerned. Wouldn’t give us a different room or refund, only a couple towels. Would not recommend this location.

Stinky hotel
The room smelled like urine and smelled horrible all through the night... if it were not so late when we checked in we would have canceled and gone somewhere else. It smelled terrible all through the hotel. The check-in guy came out with no shoes on at all... and then took my driver's license and credit card out and around the desk making his way to a hotel room around the corner to ask some lady something and I kinda followed him cuz I didn't know what he was doing with both my cards. Will not stay there EVER again... The beds were okay and clean but the room really needed a lot of work and renovations...

Staff so kind. Bed comfy. Breakfast good. Check in great. Needs a better up keep-a lot of small things unattended to that distracted. (Paint touch ups, worn/torn carpet, and a few corners could have been cleaner) Well stay again as we are only there to sleep and then have breakfast a couple nights.
