Staff was nice enough but facility lacked cleanliness.
Photos must be from 10years ago or something because our room was an absolute abomination. Molded bathroom walls, shower head covered in stone, there was a hole in the wall under the shower head where water was coming out! Toilet seat broken, cabinet door fell off, definitely wasn’t cleaned because I stepped into something sticky on the carpet, and I found a bottle cap on the floor right next to the chair… do not come to this filthy and stanky crack house. I can’t even call this an inn or motel. At least the front desk person was nice. Which you have to call every time because the office is always closed and nobody is there. Avoid this place at all costs. I wouldn’t stay here even if you’d pay me to.

The property manager was friendly and very helpful. The property was okay for the price but we did kill 1 cockroach in our room. Hopefully they get pest control out there before it becomes an issue.
Family owned and operated. Plenty if great lighting and brand new state of the art security cameras. 2 huge truckstops close by, Subway, Dunkin' etc Hotel currently undergoing remodel/refresh. Staff is super friendly and accommodating. Rates are great. I"ve stayed here several times and will continue to stay inbthe future. Also goid wifi and satellite tv with lot's of channels :-)
The reviews that i read about this place before booking must have been written by owners or management. It was dirty and very run down.

King suite with a kitchenette and had no dishware. Not one single cup, fork, paper towels, nothing. Dirty towel on bathroom door was left. Hair on the bathroom floor. No hairdryer. Was right next to a truck stop. Heard semi's running all night long.
Nice king bed had satellite. Overall okay stay.
We stayed for 1 night on a long trip, and it was comfortable and dog friendly with a nice big area to run around with the dog. We would definitely stay again.
Property needs updated. Something in the room made my sinuses go off. No front staffing (arrived around 6:30 pm) had to call number and wait for someone to come get us check in.
