Nice room, bad area.
The room was great, but the area was ghetto. Something is bad if you need security glass at the lobby desk. The smell of weed coming through the ac didn't help either.

The room was not the room I paid for. The room was not clean like it should have been. The continental breakfast was just breakfast bars.

What you typically would expect for an econo lodge... it did the job. However, the "included breakfast" is a joke. It's granola bars.

The hotel listed a room for booking that they didn’t even have . So when my family and I went to check in guess what no room . I feel this was very misleading

This place is a dump. The room is not horrible but smells of bleach, the lock on the door has been broken by force and not repaired along with the bathroom door, there is vomit in the parking lot and the parking lot is tiny. Fairly cheap but not cheap enough. Pay a couple extra bucks and stay somewhere else.

Good on a budget, good coffee
Good for the price, but room service barged in on me twice before 9am and I was trying to sleep for work. Coffee was nice. Receptionist at late night check in was very friendly.

Watch the billing.
Room was fine. Above average. Clean and a great Television. Only issue was reserved a room thru the Hotels.com app and was doubled billed, and everyone is pointing fingers on who's at fault. I have to wonder if and when i may get my money back.
