The room was scary. Toilet kept running. Bathroom door was broken. The water wouldn’t cut off in the tub. The whole hotel smells like smoke. Graffiti written on the headboard and mold on the chair. Wouldn’t recommend. The staff was nice though.

The deadbolt type of lock was missing on the door. The room where the breakfast was held was 95 degrees, apparently the air wasn't working. The interstate was shut down for maintenance and the hotel sits right next to it. So not sure but there was alot of interesting people hanging around. We didn't feel safe staying here.

First impression when pulling up to the hotel: The outside ground were over grown. There was a police car outside. We had no soap in our room and it was a no smoking room that was smoked in. Smoke detector hanging from ceiling with no batteries. The door from outside going in had no door knob and the entire lock system was loose. Rooms were spacious and clean. Beds were very firm. Price was great
