Overall the hotel was great, however the barking dog that was beside our room for 2 hours was awful. The dog barked from 10pm-until after midnight. If someone has a dog they should not be able to leave it alone in the room.

Great value

Property was conveniently located, fairly priced, clean and the staff was friendly. Excellent value in my opinion. The property has obviously seen better days, everything is a little dated, my mattress had a low spot and probably should have been replaced by now. But the rooms were very clean. I'd happily stay here again when visiting my student at UA.

This was inexpensive and convenient to many places. Parking was easy. Beds were comfy too. Only issue was that the sink and toilet smelled of rotten eggs every tine used and housekeeping didn't restock soaps and shampoo and conditioner but otherwise was a great stay.

Bed were the best & most important thing. That’s why I did not give this property a 1 star. I do not understand why full size beds are a thing at any property. There’s room for queen size! 2 people cannot sleep well on a full size. Also the bathroom floors are just gross. Breakfast was subpar. Everything else was adequate. What you expect from a 2 star motel.
