Was disappointed that I didn't get a refund for the Monday night stay that I didn't use as my husband was released from the hospital a day early from heart surgery. There was no way of knowing that in advance and being able to give a 24 hour notice to cancel my reservation.

Alongside main road/highway, yet far enough away that it's quiet, with no noise of traffic. Very convenient that a restaurant is literally right next door to hotel, such that you can walk there, without having to cross any roads. Easy check in/out with helpful and friendly staff

The room I had booked for a conference was more like a college dorm room. It was decorated with UNI bedspread and had UNI posters on the wall. The couch had multiple stains on it, which were nasty and sticky. The bedspread on one of the beds had sunflower seeds on it. It smelled of pot. We made contact with the front desk to see if another room was available for 3 teachers, and they first took us to a king-size suite, but not functional for 3 teachers, then we finally got a room for 3 with 2 queen beds and a couch. This room was better, but not the best. The black leather chair in the room was pealing horribly, and the lighting in the bathroom was awful. It was 10 pm when we arrived and checked in, and by the time we finally got to our new room, it was close to midnight. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. It did not give off friendly vibes, smelled like pot, the area to have breakfast in was dirty, garbage cans were full and needed to be taken out, and it needed alot of updates as well. It was also in a very dark part of town with not alot of lighting. From what I could see, more people lived there than stayed there. Do yourself a huge favor and spend the extra money on a room somewhere else.

Good value

the hotel was close to the interstate and price was reasonable. The diner near the parking was very good. The room was comfortable but there were stains on the carpet, the bedspread and the couch. The hotel could use some updating and there is no elevator, which I had not known prior to reserving. Breakfast was meh. It was okay for a one night stay.

We checked in after 3:00 and some of the rooms were not available for other guests. The up keep around the hotel needed a lot of work. The hotel smelled like marijuana and we were told there was a no pet policy. Upon going to our room a cat was seen in the room next to us and upon entering our room our room smelled of cats. The room was clean but the smell was horrible. We heard dogs bark all night long.
