Domestic happening in the parking lot at check in, multiple "residents" that just give you a warm and fuzzy feeling. Rooms were dirty, dingy and stained. Checked in and checked right out, no question of why or attempt to reconcile not that they could. Spend a few bucks more. Don't be on a crime report.
There was a huge hole in the right side of the bed. My back was hurting a lot the next day… we have a baby and this person gave us the last room literally next to the highway… nobody could even sleep… cero empathy! And the restroom was dirty…
Terrible. Shower had huge crack in shower wall about 2ft long. Room had foul odor. Stained bed linen. Tiny littlr pillows. Had tv but no remote. Bed was Terrible also. I highly recommend not goin here.
Beds were uncomfortable. Towels were dirty, had hair in them. Room smelled like mold, pillows smelled weird. There was a roach in our room and just that alone made me uncomfortable. Wouldn’t stay here again.
Room was filthy. Smelled really bad. Linen had stains as well as towels stained. Bath tub completely filthy. No tv remote in room. Got a new from front desk and it didn’t work
Sheets had blood stains on them. The comforter was covered in stains and cigarette burns. Room smelled very funky. Could hear the sound of cars traveling on the nearby road all night. Place looks very run down.
It's exactly what you pay for. It's cheap. Rooms are good. A little thin in the walls, meaning that you hear everything from the other rooms. But it was good over all
Wasn’t told we had to pay an extra $50 fee during check in, even though the room was already paid for. Front desk was also trying to convince me they didn’t have cribs for infants even though it is advertised that they do. We had to sit and wait for him to call his manager to figure the matter out.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Great location, needs maintenance
Great location for easy access to Hobart and merriville. Unfortunately the room was in need of repair, toilet was leaking from the base and created puddles under the floor and leaked up into the front of the toilet. The shower head was hanging off the wall and the microwave was out of date. The floor was dirty. Although the beds were comfortable, it was noisy all night with the air conditioner and people talking/yelling/arguing almost all night. We had trouble with the door lock and had to have our key reprogrammed several times. Staff wasn’t even able to get into the room at the end of our stay to check our complaints.
