It was a hotel that served our purpose. It was close to fast food, shopping and gas station which was very nice. The housekeepers were extremely friendly. No elevator which was hard being on the 3rd floor. The breakfast was not that good. Not much to choose from. Overall the room was nice and the bed was comfortable and the airconditioner was good. Would stay here again for the price and location.

We were warmly greeted by Christina. She was very efficient and assisted us in extending our stay. Also, very knowledgeable. Breakfast was okay. Eggs, toast, muffins and link sausage. Could have used biscuits and gravy. Co9ler 9f milk and OJ. Room is clean. Bed is very comfortable. New TV, fridge with a freezer, and microwave. Overall, a great value for the price. We are here for a baseball tournament so expected prices to be h8gher.

The things we liked - friendly staff, bed comfortable, tv was easy to run - not streaming, air worked good and very quiet. Things we didnt like - pillows uncomfortable, only gave us 1 hand towel so had to ask for extra every day, one day we didnt get any coffee, when we arrived the fridge had been turned off so water standing in the freezer (cleaning staff was not happy about being asked to clean it) and breakfast not very appetizing. When asked for things the front desk staff was very accommodating.

This was the worst hotel we've stayed at through Hotels.com. There was no elevator in the three story building and no luggage carts and I am handicapped. It was dirty and noisey. The window did not lock and the area was semi-industrial. It did have a nice tv.

The room was clean and comfortable. However, the bathroom needed some TLC. Shower control needed replaced and almost all sealant was not in good shape. The breakfast fell short. Only apples for fruit. Breads limited to white bread and blueberry muffins. Overall, there just needed to be a little more variety.
