The first room (114) had wallpaper falling down and mold everywhere. We requested a new room (214) and there was still bubbling wallpaper and mold on the walls, the chair and the lamp. In the bathroom we found cockroaches!! We asked for a full refund and was given half and told he wouldn’t be calling the manager again that night to call in the morning. They serve breakfast in the same building as cockroaches! Disgusting

About right for a cheap stay.

For the price, my stay was as I expected. No coffee maker, but the bed was clean and comfortable, even though the bed spread had a 4 inch rip. They did give me a room with a king bed instead of a queen that I was charged for. No problem.

Love their pet policy.

Staff was very nice and understanding, I lock myself out of the room 5 minutes into my stay. lol It was just an overnight stay, but very pleasant, room was clean with a microwave and a large refrigerator, not a camping size. Love their pet policy. Will stay again!

Bad choice

Room not clean. Door would lock from the inside, but would not when leaving the room. We reported the lock and were told “they would look into it”.
