Not sure about this one

The hotel is old and in need of updating and a deep clean wouldn't hurt. There are a lot of Band-Aids to make things work. If you are expecting breakfast you better be there well before 8:00 as there was no food left. Only a few pieces of white bread and sugar cereals. On the positive side, the staff was nice (they can't do anything about the condition or amount of food provided). Our room was fairly clean but the bathroom is very old and you just can't get it clean.

Clean & in fairly good condition. Need to update the records that the pool has not been open for a couple of years. Breakfast is very limited: only biscuits & gravy for hot - rest is mostly continental breakfast. A couple of lights were burnt out above the sink vanity.

Best Deal in town

I was pressed to find a room. I’m gonna get the spelling wrong but the precious young lady at the desk (Joscelyn) was SO kind and friendly. Went above and beyond. She helped me book through my app in order to get points. First thing walking in I noted how clean and fresh smelling the lobby was. Could believe how nice this room was. You won’t find a better deal along I-80.

Thumbs Up

Our stay overall was pretty good. We did the digital check in but still had to sign/initial paperwork and provide my ID (done in the digital check in). The staff was nice and friendly enough. The room was clean and cool so that was nice. I don’t like that the light to the bathroom was outside (would wake my family when going to the bathroom. The toilet was a little lower than expected so that took a second to adjust. The water in our shower would pool up until the shower was off then it went down. The breakfast was satisfactory, I was expecting more than what they had though. Some eggs and sausage/bacon would have been nice in addition to the various cereals, biscuits and gravy (gravy was in a crockpot to stay warm), waffle machine and yogurts. There were also bagels, toast, etc. For the 1 night we stayed, it was good.
