I noticed that the remote controls were dirty. The beds were comfortable. The door is a key entry and there is no 2nd lock on the hotel door. While the room was no smoking there were cigarette butts on the walkway entering our hotel room. Along the walkway there were garbage cans sitting on the walkway. While the garbage cans were useful, it took away from the curb appeal.

Just sleep in your car

Checked out 2 days early without hopes of a refund. I'd rather have slept in my car. I was in town for a race, this was the only place available. No idea how they are getting good reviews. And they should be ashamed they charge so much!. This is not a place you want to stay. It's dirty, dingy... just gross! The bedding and towels smelled DISGUSTING! Removed the comforter and slept in my clothes because I didn't feel clean. This might be one of the worst hotel stays I can recall. One plus - they have A/C.

This stay was a quick overnight business trip. The lady at the front desk is an angel. So happy that you booked a stay with them. There is a restaurant attached to the property that makes dining very easy. The room is tidy and the bed is comfortable. I have stayed here a couple of times before and will definitely stay there again!!
