Rooms were ok...

The lobby had an overwhelming smell of moth balls. I had to wait 10 min to check in because the receptionist made a food run. The rooms were decent but certainly nothing spectacular. The remote was broken.

Could not stay here. Disgusting.

The first room offered. The air conditioner was very loud. Definitely something wrong with it. The second room offered. Lots of dead and live flies in the room around the window. Was offered a third room but after seeing the first two along with all the trash in the back parking lot, I decided to leave. Didn’t stay there even though I wouldn’t get a refund.

Thankfully, not a bad experience for us like other reviewers mentioned in regards to cleanliness. I slept well and got some coffee downstairs in the morning. Overall, a decent stay for tired travelers. We arrived close to midnight but I called the phone number on the front desk office and a man showed up within minutes to check us in. No breakfast, but there is coffee.
