Dirty and Old

Sand and grit on the sheets. They must not have been changed. Toilet had a greenish brown color when i opened the lid. Beds are old, TV had a black line going across it. The hotel is old and not updated.

A great stay for a good price.

While we miss having breakfast like so many places offered pre-covid, that was the only real drawback of this stay. The facility is dated, but the room was very nicely updated, with new furnishings and comfortable climate control. It was very clean and included two very comfortable beds and good TV options. The front desk staff was congenial and efficient. The facility is close to the highway, but that brings unavoidable noise issues as can be expected. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would be glad to visit again when in the area.

Rooms not as advertised. Paid extra for "separate bedroom" for multiple groups of people. Front desk told me they don't even offer rooms with separate bedrooms. Unsure why it is listed in the details, for this property.

I did not stay, even though I had reserved and paid because I did not feel safe when I drove into the parking lot. There were people hanging around the front of the hotel. It looked uncapped, and the windows were open with curtains, flying out in the front entry Looked like a rent by the our hotel.

Unsatisfactory

First, I got a call before we checked in telling me that I had booked a room with two beds, but they could not provide that. Me and my granddaughter settled for king size bed. My granddaughter brought along her own blanket to sleep on top of the line. Their room was very musty and had an odor. I went to Walmart and bought air freshener. The next night we did receive a room with two beds. This room was not as musty, but I still used the air freshener. Both evenings before checking in there was a lot of people in the parking lot and appeared. They were homeless people. This was disturbing an alarming. I will not stay this week.
