The photos definitely make this property look great. The room was nice enough but that bathroom was dirty. There were s** workers on either side of my room. The reviews on this property are deceiving. I’d say it’s nicer than a motel 8 but worse than a holiday inn.

Only reason I downgraded staff & services was that we had 4 people in the room & I had stated that on the reservation, yet every day they only gave us 3 bath towels.

I was staying just overnight on the way to my final destination. I chose the property because it was reasonably priced. It was everything I hoped for. The only thing missing for me was a coffee machine in the room but there was coffee in the lobby, so the only thing I couldn’t do was hot water to make some tea, but really it it okay. Comfortable bed, very quiet, probably not too many people were there at the time. No complaints about that.

Two day stay

It was a solid “okay,” and that’s it. The rooms were shabby, there was a towel left on a hook behind the bathroom door that had been used by a previous occupant, and there was mildew in the tub. My kids’ room smelled awful and made my daughter’s asthma act up. We were in town for a funeral and just needed a place to sleep, so that part was adequate. The lobby, which is what is shown on most of the sites, is the nicest part of the building by far.

For a more economical hotel, this was definitely worth the money. Very clean, quick check in, comfortable bed. Two small suggestions for improvement: thicker/bigger towels and yogurt option for breakfast.

Nice place to stay at a great price. Comfy beds. Clean room. Friendly staff. Only issue was very strong smell of Febreeze in lobby, almost overpowering. However the room did not have any smell. Breakfast had waffles eggs sausage biscuits gravy Cereal bagels juices oranges bananas apples

Quaint and a great place to stay.

Loved this hotel. Very quaint and staff was friendly. It was clean and simple which is perfect for a quick stay. I really don’t have any negatives. I do wish the toiletries were in individual bottles and packages but I also understand that can be wasteful. It was convenient to food and stores.

First off, the staff were lovely! Kind, helpful, and efficient. The hotel looked like they were updating with artwork, linens, and draperies, but the hotel and furniture were old and very used. Bed was incredibly uncomfortable. Both my husband and I had sore backs after sleeping in the bed. It is in a convenient location and there is a great nail place across the street. A lot of chain restaurants nearby and a great BBQ restaurant, too. Would not stay there again, but it wasn’t the worst place.

We stayed for one night and it definitely does the job for that. It is very outdated, shower was old and gross looking and looked like it had mold. The room was rundown, there were holes in the wall that were patched and not painted or not patched at all. The front desk staff was very cold, he didn’t say hi or anything just worried about checking us in. We were only able to find one outlet that worked because they were so loose and wouldn’t hold it. Toilet was very very loud when flushed, woke the other person up. Overall I would say this is more of a motel than a hotel. Definitely not worth the $130 a night we paid
