This hotel is very rundown and in a location where vehicles enter the interstate we didn’t get to sleep till probably 2 o’clock in the morning because of various vehicles tearing it up, terrible location, the room was a smoked in room although now it’s a non-smoking but really stank. Window was filthy with dirty handprints on it. Curtains were filthy. Do not recommend!

Desk clerk upon check in was unfriendly and unwelcoming. I don't think she even greeted me. I had my driver's license and credit card at the ready and she said "Give me". I later called from the room to see if there was a secure wifi and she said "No" and hung up. Room is in need of updating and bathroom is mildewy. Tear in curtain liner so I had to prop chair against window to keep curtain closed. Even if room was immaculate, the rudeness of desk clerk is main reason I will not stay there again. Good customer service can negate other issues.
