The check-in process was so fast an efficient. The gentleman that checked us in was very friendly and also helpful. Great experience especially after a 5 hour drive at the end of a day.
The only negative I would comment on was the lack of ice due to a broken ice machine, otherwise, very nice place for the value.
I was very sceptical when I saw the neighborhood and the outside of the hotel,but once I checked in I was pleasantly surprised. Recently renovated rooms,very nice. The downside was the tissue which wasn't even 1ply and completely see through and even though the doors had a deadbolt, the extra lock at the top would have been a bonus. Bathroom was small but again big enough for me.It was quiet and peaceful.

The rates are good for this property and the room was well kept. The only problem we have was with the front desk rejecting our emotional support animal as being exempt from charges with a doctors note on my cell phone. It was said: " I don;t care about that." Then when I came back to pay it was higher. Had to go to work and was told that I could pay when I got back but the cat must be caged for cleaning. Still reasonable price but the front desk bedside manner was uncaring with my disability needing an emotional support animal.
The bed was just ok. It did have a nice tv, but no ice machine and cheap toilet paper. There was a bright light outside shining through the window all night and the door had open space that bugs could get through. Was a little scary as not too many people staying there. Luckily we paid a cheap rate for it for a crowded weekend event.

worst experience ever
point blank. we didn't stay. room was almost 90 degrees when we walked in, so we put the AC on and left to kill a few hours before coming back and it was still about 80. sat on the bed that's barely more than a wooden box. within 15 minutes we booked a different hotel and checked out. DO NOT STAY HERE.
Very clean room. Bed, pillows, sheets towels all excellent clean.
Floor was so clean I walked barefoot.
Good for adults not kids. Big room needs a lamp.
.don't judge this book by its cover. If you just want a room. This is it
This is a hotel that I will never ever stay in or go to again. So I booked the hotel on hotels.com. I get to the hotel they wants me to give them $100 deposit so I asked the person at the front desk to just hold it on the card. He tells me it has to be $100 in cash and that I need to go to the ATM so to make a long story short I canceled the hotel room so that means I lost the money that I paid to stay the night. I will never ever go there again.
You got what you pay for. They did some renovation in the rooms. So it was clean. The bed was very comfortable. The sheets were clean. However, there were couple of cigarette burns on the blanket. I liked that they had microwave and a fridge. The entrance door was in a really bad shape. The check in person was nice. So far was ok. If you just need a place to sleep it’s fine.

$$$ Deposit
Front desk was empty when i arrived knocked, hollered and tried to call all to no avail. Finally she appeared from outside and with no greeting processed my reservation. Afterwards she informed me of the $100 deposit, the room was only $50, I balked but she insisted
NOT SAFE!! There’s a note on the check-in window that says “Do not sit outside your room day or night, do not walk around the property at all, do not leave belonging outside your room, do not leave belongings in your car!” EXTREMELY UNSAFE! I never even checked in to the hotel, I left once I read those rules. Hotels.com needs to remove this place of their website asap! Before somebody gets hurt!
