Currently under construction, so not all amenities are available at the current moment, but this hotel is great for if you just need a safe affordable place to sleep. Massive sturdy building. Probably a great place to be if there was a tornado. Every staff person i have encountered was very kind and helpful. Would recommended to anyone traveling on a budget. Good value for the price.

Matthew

Checked in around 9p. The lobby doors were locked and the front desk had to open them. She said there was an armed robbery in the area and she was being careful. After check-in she said “be careful” which is nice to hear. Lots of internal construction going on so pallets and boxes everywhere, shutting down one of two elevators. Property was relatively clean. Chair was comfortable while I stood guard all night
