A good place to stay. Little pricey
Place is clean. Little out dated but looks like they are trying to make improvements. Convenient location. Check in was easy, but the owner i believe working the front counter isn't very talkative or welcomeing. Needs to greet people with hospitality. The hotel door locked but had alot of play in it, would more than likely stay again but dont plan too. Little pricey for the stay but what isn't anymore.

Great value
Our double queen room was spotless. Plenty towels, soap/lotion/shampoo dispensers. A small table would’ve been nice to have, since a fridge and small microwave were provided. Room staff very helpful. Entry door seal needed replacement, allowing excess outside noise, though. Would consider booking there again.

The young man who greeted us was kind and helpful. He suggested several places to have dinner and even printed out a map we could follow. I must admit that when we first pulled up, I was taken aback by several of the neighbors' metal gates across their front doors. But our stay was happily uneventful. Our room was so clean, with new carpeting, tile and other fixtures. We had a simple but nice complimentary breakfast in the morning and met oodles of people from all over the US, here to see the eclipse. Then we headed out to explore more of the area!

The room was freezing. I asked for extra blankets, as my daughter and I were sharing the room. They only gave me one. I asked for a second. After turning the heat up, we were still freezing. I called back to ask for blankets, they said they would only give us two extra per room. I am so fustrated I chose this awful place … I don’t know how they have 8 stars!! Never again!!!!

When I booked, it said that my card would not be charged until check in. I had planned on using a different card than the one I used to reserve the room. When I got there and presented the front desk person with my preferred form of payment, he said that they already charged my card 2 days before. He then proceeded to argue with me and refused to refund my card and run the other one. He said the reserve now pay later was an Expedia thing and he did not have to honor it. I was quite irritated.
