Best value stay!!

This is a top-notch stay. Lobby, breakfast room, and my room were very clean. Everything worked perfectly. All staff were friendly and helpful! If I'm ever I'm Mitchell overnight again, I will definitely book another room here!

Keep Looking!

Room was damp, carpet was wet, and it smells like mold and mildew. I woke up sick after the first night and checked out a night early and had to find a different hotel.

The clerk was very rude. When we walked into the lobby, he was sleeping in a chair. I didn’t care but his rudeness I did care about. He gave me a 2nd floor room. I explained that I had requested no steps/stairs. His response,”we full”. No apology or attempt to be kind. Room was ok. Bed lumpy

The rooms and common area was very clean. Rooms were dated and in need of remodeling but it was worth the price. Breakfast was minimal but for a heartier breakfast you could just walk across the parking lot to a family restaurant or McDonalds. Great price for what was offered.

Clean, uncomplicated and restful

Everything was good. The only thing sub-par was the breakfast offered. Grateful for a restful stay in a very nice room.
