The front desk and breakfast staff were friendly and very helpful. The price was great. It is in a convenient location that is close to the freeway and restaurants. Hallways on the 3rd floor looked like they had not been vacuumed for a while. The bathroom sink in the room had a crack and fan was not working. Corners of the bathroom floor were dirty. There was limited parking in front of the facility and the other options were either in poorly lit areas or close to the main road. We did not experience any issues however. Overall it was good for a one night stay while traveling through the area.

Bed was moderately comfortable. Rooms well-designed for storage and a separate sitting area with a TV (we got a room with two queen beds). Area around the hotel was designed more for travelers coming off the interstate—more concrete than green for sure! It was an adequate stay. No real complaints but not remarkable either.
