Stay was inexpensive and good enough for one night. Staff were courteous at check in. No elevators (only stairs) to second floor. Being next to a truck stop there was some evening noise but that settled down during the night. There was a surprise 50$ deposit required that was refunded a few days later as they promised.

Happy Holiday

Staff was nice. Everything in our room worked great, was nice and clean. My only complaint isn't too bad, I booked for a pool and it was closed. But I understand...it happens. Would stay here again ...I'll just be sure to check first that the pool is open. I appreciated at check in that the man made sure my son and I had the wifi password. And told me where to drive around and park close to my door (we arrived in the evening after dark) it's the little things like this. We stayed for Easter weekend and it was fun to decorate our room and eat candy and watch TV! Thank You!

The room was nice and clean could have been mopped though. The outside had feces all over the back parking lot, our room door had a gap wide enough to look into the room, and the flooring in the pool room is broken up a little bit.
