Choose another place. Anywhere else

Wasn't properly greeted in fact was pretty much ignored during the checking process. There are better options for hotels in this area this place is sketchy af. It's right next to the highway so you get traffic noise 24 hours a day, Staff is uncaring and unfriendly, In the entire place smells bad.

They moved me and my wife for another room , the first room was leaking from the ceiling and they moved me after 30 minutes of being there and our stuff getting wet, then they moved us to another room where the A/C didn’t work at all and there was no water pressure to take a shower, i definitely do not recommend this hotel, and the staff for that one night we stayed was horrible and so unprofessional.

Save your energy, book elsewhere

Broken Ice Machine, Non-working laundry room, unusable bathtub with no water and limited amenities is what I experienced during my stay. I emailed the office for a refund (in which I haven't received) and rebooked elsewhere. The area around the hotel isn't the best especially with the shared parking lot with additional hotels

Shower was not working, part to turn water on and off was broken and removed. They gave me an another room. Ceiling was leaking. There was a big spider web in the room on nightstand light. I did go to the breakfast area but items were limited, just got a coffee, they didn’t have waffle or butter. But it was a very cheap hotel. Most likely would never stay again

Property was very raggedy appliances like the ice machine, washer and dryer and microwaves did not work. Rooms were not very clean considering they didn’t even bother to change my sheets before I checked in I literally had to ask the staff for linens to change them myself and barely the second day there they ran out of towels and didn’t have any for the remainder of my stay. I’m usually not one to complain but what am I paying for when the establishment cannot even provide basic amenities. Honestly not worth the money, the motel 6 would have been nicer.
