This is basically a Motel 6 with a Hilton badge on it. The hallway carpets were dirty and stained. The room didn’t have a coffee maker or microwave. The shower didn’t have enough water pressure. The breakfast was a joke. It was basically just bagels.

I think the only downside of the hotel was that it seemed like the windows are not very thick so you can hear every single car passing on the highway all night long.

Great customer service.

I appreciated the helpful service. The women at the desk were so kind and helpful. The area where the hotel is located is a bit sketchy, though. The bed was comfortable. The room is older but comfortable. The price for dogs was really high. $75.00. They have a bagel breakfast which we didn't find out about until we checked in. That was disappointing. Otherwise, an ok hotel, better if you don't have to pay so high for a dog. Thanks for great service, though. That is refreshing in our world now and I appreciate it very much.
