Worst hotel I’ve ever been to. Dirty, smell was horrible, and the parking lot was very unsafe. People milling around the vehicles that didn’t belong there. We ended up packing up our stuff and driving the rest of our way home.

The property was disgusting!! Humans or animals shouldn't be allowed to stay here. The odor was nauseating. Huge stains on the carpet in the hallway. Staff was less than friendly. I was afraid to close my eyes. Next time I will choose to sleep in my vehicle. I will not subject myself to staying in a place like this ever again!!! My bad.......

It's ok.

The hotel is NOTHING as pictured. I checked in from a 2.5 hr drive, a little after 7pm (Check-in started at 3pm) and was charged an additional $100.00 for checking in after 6pm. Knob to water in shower was broken off. Room was extremely plain, roomy but didn't feel cozy and not anything that was pictured. It was clean but floors felt dirty.

I didn’t have a blanket on my bed the first night and had to ask for one because they never came in three days to ever clean my room. I had to wipe down the surfaces when I got there because they were not clean. My sink stopped up and I asked for it to be fixed and it never was. All in all just a gross experience.

Smelled all the time. The 1st room smelled like urine and the beds were not done. They advertised having microwaves in each room but they dont. The remote controller had no batteries so we had to buy some.

Budget hotel. You get what you pay for. Room was dark. Shower knob was off, it did work. Would not recommend for a comfort stay. Good enough for a place to sleep and go the next day.

The room had an overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke. I asked for a different room and the second room was the same. There was a smell of strong bleach cleaner used to mask the smell. The staff was nice but I used Expedia to book it so I didn't get my money back.
