Shelby

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Supposed to be a smoke free place and the room reeked of cigarettes. Super gross, I couldn't even stay in the room it smelled so bad. I ended up going somewhere else. It is also just rough looking in general. The rugs at the entry are all torn up and a tripping hazard, broken asphalt all over the parking lot, people wandering around outdoors all hours, the emergency exits had the doorknobs removed and you could see outside the holes that were left as a result. I would not recommend staying here.

There is unnecessary safe charges that I did not use and advised them ahead that I did not need a safe. They automatically charge it to your card. It took days to get it back. Unnecessary.

Clean, Comfortable, Safe

The stay was absolutely amazing. 5 stars, my wife and I enjoyed a comfortable clean room. Plenty of parking, near our destinations we needed to travel to. Late at night while smoking, felt safe. Breakfast is also included in the morning and access to ice and a gym. I would recommend this place
