Cleanliness: saw a roach and a fly in the room. My sister and her kids were getting bit by something in their room. Staff & service: nice staff, happily accommodated me for late check in Property conditions: some parts of the walls just looked run down and old Area: kind of secluded, which can be a good thing but food places were a drive away. It’s a small city so not too bad

Room was decent, it can use more cleaning as there was dust all around. The pillow sheets had hair, one of them had a small dead bug. The carpet floor in the corner of the bed was dirty and there was a roach (it seemed like they had not bother to clean that area). Front desk staff were nice, once I mentioned about the pillow covers a lady came to change them. Overall, good size of room.

It served it'd purpose. Bed was comfortable, TV worked, and AC worked. New hotels need to build away from highways, always noisy. Maybe this helps keep prices under $200 a night, for 6-hours of use lol.
