I tricked in just after midnight. The night staff was great got me a room quickly and I was very tired and ready for that. Unfortunately internet was down I could not check weather for my travels. My room was just over 60° I had to open windows to try to warm it up to be comfortable. The bed was just worn out, we're a person might sit to get out of bed the springs just collapsed right now to the frame. Trying to take a shower in the morning in the diverter was next to impossible to pull up, barely getting water out of the shower head. Hoping this room was just a glitch the staff seemed great and the property was very clean. If I wasn't in such a rush to continue I travel as I would have taken a little more time to talk to the staff, I believe they would have been very helpful.

Didn’t stay because I put in the date to stay but when I went to confirm the date got bumped up to the next night and so I went to change/cancel the reservation and they wouldn’t let me so had to pay for the night even though I didn’t even stay there! Will never book there again!! Not very accommodating!!

This hotel was dirty and I felt unsafe in the parking lot. People walking around the lot staring. Slamming doors all night, ac hardly worked, and I couldn't sleep because of pot smell coming into my room. I don't recommend this hotel at all.

Not a place for short stays. Its extended stay. Guests who bring their household appliances like coffee makers, toasters, utensils, plates, pots, pans, food and drink, auxillary bathroom table/counter space, etc will be OK. OTHERWISE, You are out of luck.

Avoid!

Check in was OK...pretty standard. Rooms are AWFUL. Our first room was dirty: holes in dirty sheets, dirty bathroom, dirty kitchenette, had what appeared to be marijuana ash on the bathroom counter, smelled like smoke. They offered to change rooms for us. Second room was cleaner, still had a funky smell. This room had a busted leg on one of the beds, TV was broken, and the bathroom light was falling off the wall. After complaining the front desk attendant got snippy with me like it's my fault. At that point I said we're leaving. Was there about an hour and a half total. Stayed at an Econolodge about 2 miles away which was great. They told us they had 2 other families leave this hotel and check in that night as well. Probably great if you're a meth head truck driver (which there were quite a few there that night), but not if you have children expecting a decent clean room for a night.

I realize this is an extended stay but its pretty run down and furnishings are not very nice. Not even a comfortable chair to sit in. I stayed a month at this location about 10 years ago and it was much nicer back than.
