Facility is pretty well kept, outside is okay. Close to a Walmart if you need supplies. Inside is definitely nicer then the outside. Area is quiet and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast was basic but was sufficient.

The hotel was nice, we stayed 2 nights. We didn’t try the breakfast or use the pool, but everything looked nice. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We got into town 2 hours before check in time, so we were charged $25 for early check in and were able to get in our room early. We used the free coffee that is available in the lobby, that was nice to have in the mornings. The parking lot is pretty big, and was never close to being full. The hotel was pretty quiet. We didn’t see many other guests during our stay. We would likely choose this hotel again in the future.

There was no towels in our room , we asked and asked for towels and finally got some , then they only only gave us two , we had three people …. So we had to go back and ask for more . The breakfast was decent but the coffee tasted like soap so I’m not sure if they had left over soap in the dispenser or what . Overall it was decent

The first three days i have 0 complaints, the only issue we had was the laundry, the sign says 30 min wash and 30 min dry. The wash took a hour 20 and it did not spin the clothes so i rang them out and put them in the dryer 3 hours later still soaking wet s. We started laundry at 840 pm and i finally pulled my soaked clothes at aprox 313 am and ofcourse i had to be on a plain at 10 am so i had tobwait until a laundry store opened to rewash and dry at 8 am finally got done at 940 barely made it to my plane

I really liked this hotel. The staff was kind and efficient. There’s a lot of shopping nearby. The pool might need some updates but we used it and it was fine. The washer dryer was good. Breakfast was excellent. The room was big and the beds were comfortable. I would stay here again.

BARBARA

Disliked: Cleanliness
An old hotel, not very clean in general. The bathtub didn't drain well, there was a permanent ring in the bottom of the tub with pink moldy spots, water backed up on my feet. Sink drain had something nasty in it that caused it to back up too. Sink drain had no stopper. Couch in the room had grimy arms from many hands over the years. Decor is "mid-century"...not just in style, but in actual age, it appears. The wooden box the micro-fridge sat on (smaller than the usual dorm size) was falling apart and the fridge tilted and moved around. I had to change rooms from my first room because the TV didn't work at all (and the front desk person came and tried to fix it). the deficiencies I describe were in the second room. After my experience in the shower the first day, I couldn't take a shower the second day--I imagined what kind of bacteria and fungus were backing up onto my feet and didn't want to take a chance. I wiped my feet with rubbing alcohol after the first shower. I would never stay there again.
