Extremely comfortable rooms and good amenities. The towels were the softest and fluffiest I’ve ever seen. Enjoyed our stay.

Room - good; parking lot - not.
The deluxe room was a clean, spacious room - was great for the four of us. Parking lot and exterior were a little disconcerting as we pulled in, but we had an overall good stay.

The property is clean and the rooms are nice. I’ve stayed there twice and there are always sketchy people in the parking lot.

My expectations were pretty low...we booked the last room (literally) on the same day. Doesn't look that impressive from outside, but our basic room was clean, comfortable and pleasant. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

Just your average hotel. Nothing stands out. The heat was hard to adjust. It is an older system. Employees were nice. Easy check in. Easy location.

For the price it was a good value for a place to stay one night while on our long trip

Front desk service was excellent, and there was a security person on staff at the front entrance, which was appreciated and provided some sense of security. Ice machine in lobby was great to have on a hot day to fill up coolers and cups@
