The room wasn't the best but it served it's purpose. The staff and service was excellent, the maintenance guy was very helpful and the front desk guy always had fresh coffee ready for us, everyone was very polite and courteous, and I loved that there were so many dogs, it made me miss my fur babies at home lol
Cleanliness was the first thing I noticed and honestly I was surprised. Definitely change my perspective. The size of the room also was nice and spacious.
Really the cleaning folks very nice helpful
But office manager EXTREMLY RUDE. 3-10 Or 3-11
Avoid her .. really really bad person
They 1 or 2 max prostitutes working the property
I will not take the wife and kids back .. Been going here for 20 years and never had 1 problem. But she became very very angry at my little kid for beating on an aluminum coffee table while we were checking in.
Basically got into a big screaming match with my wife
Over the kid. And said to us . GET OUT of the office
And she came it us in attack mode and chased us out the store screaming! My wife had the baby in her arms. And my 8 year old does what kids do. He beat on the metal/ coffee table. The lady was infuriated.
Just crazy! And you know I think she is the new owner of the property. We had stayed about a week with no problems. So beware traveling here.
NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!

This is the most bare-minimum hotel I have ever stayed in. Two beds, a table, a minifridge, a microwave, and a bathroom--it didn't even come with shampoos or tissues. With that said, it was very cheap and well-located. Surrounding area isn't well-lit at night
