I would not recommend anyone stay at this hotel. It is extremely dirty (moldy showers, blood stains on the wall, dirty carpet, water leaking at ice-maker, non-draining bathtub, etc. Our room appeared to be mid-renovation with new paint but no pictures on the wall. We were told breakfast was until 9 am. We arrived at 8:40 and all breakfast items had been completely removed with NO food available at all. Not even coffee. I went to the front desk. There was nobody there. There was a bell to ring for service. I rang it. Nobody came. There was a list on the wall of all the drug-addict locals that apparently stayed at the hotel and weren't welcome there anymore. A red truck was parked right in the middle of the place where you park to check in and it was there from Saturday afternoon at 3 pm until we left at 10 am the next day. Obviously, someone who worked there thought their comfort was more important than their guests. If you decide to stay here, you've been warned.

Common areas appear very dirty and lots of storage items out in lobby and hallways. Breakfast only had coffee and hot tea items working for beverages. Juice and water machine was out of order and the ice machine in the hall was out too. Didn't even bother going the second morning. Room and working elevator were the best part of our experience.

Knowing the brand I read some reviews here and Google that allowed me to lower my standard expectations. Having a mostly smooth check in greeted by Pleasant worker. There was police at the premises keeping things safe just checking a couple of things out that were quote unquote suspect but nothing bad that's not a problem. Did smell marijuana in the edge of the hallway. Did not smell cigarette smoke. The place has been in what seems like one long remodel from other comments reviews and my own personal observation. It is in need of that to be completed pretty quick. Overall for the stay for the place for the price I guess slightly disappointed even with Lowered Expectations.

Property was pleasant, and very close to I-40. This isn't a new facility, but presented itself well, clean and renovated. My room was very clean, and above expectations for a budget motel. I stayed 3 nights and each were pleasant, comfortable. I slept well. The beds were comfortable, bathroom clean. I didn't eat breakfast there, but the coffee was good. Front desk folks were very pleasant and efficient. This was a very good experience for me.

We just wanted to take a night to get away and not think about our everyday life,we just wanted to relax, and thays what we did. It was quite, the staff was very friendly, which they always are, we will get us a room there a few times a year and we've never had any problems. They're great people and have always been helpful and giving us anything we ask for.
