It looked as though our room had just been freshly remodeled with new carpet. The beds were very comfortable. I did have to request a hair dryer as apparently people have been taking them.

The rooms were clean except the carpet needed to be cleaned. Never could find anyone at the front desk tried to call cause I just left the key out side in the open box cause the key pad didn’t work and the key box wouldn’t shut but all I got was a guys answering machine I guess he must of been the owner. But I would stay there again because the price was right

Clean room with very nice staff. Liked that I didn’t have to have a key, used a code it enter. There is a huge step in and out of the room but a ledge to hold onto to get in and out. The bath water turned a yellow red on the first run. This is not the hotel’s fault. Was much clearer in the second run. Just decided to take a shower. No real complaints. Even offered to let me us the non stick grills up front if we wanted.

This hotel is basic but was great for my business stay. A larger fridge compared to a typical hotel was helpful to store lunch food for my workdays. The room was comfortable and reasonably priced. The best part was the front desk staff! They helped find a missing case shipped in advance to their hotel. The shipper dropped it off at the wrong address. Some investigation by them helped track it down quickly! Their help made a big difference!!
