Person at check in was very nice but had not been trained. He had to call someone and ask for help many times. I made reservations for two but the bathroom only had one wash rag and one coffee cup. Sink had a large crack, otherwise room was clean. Hotel sat in a wooded area so was very quiet. Probably won’t book it again.

Not the best but not the worst.

Rooms were a typical hotel room. Pull out had no sheets on it and the mattress had stains. Bathroom had no exhaust fan and would steam up quite easily. King bed felt like it was worn down on one side (TV Side) and felt like I was sleeping on cinder blocks. There was a musky smell in the room. Hallways were hot and muggy with other guest leaving their personal belongings in the hallways (Soccer Cleats) all night making the smell even worse. It was a place to sleep and that's about it.
