The staff was very helpful and nice. The room was very clean. The only thing I would recommend is upgrading the breakfast. The food wasn't very good at all. Other than that, I had a great stay. Thank you.

6/10 Good

We have stayed here 3-4 times in the past 8 months. This is a no thrills basic level hotel. Every room we have stayed in has been well worn with signs of overuse (cracks in walls, old worn carpet, cracked tiles/basins in bathroom. We were told they were going to remodel but none of our rooms were at any time we were there. The last room had a microwave in a microwave stand but the plug did not reach the outlet. Have been given dirty or smelly room. The front desk did switch us out. The shower head is maybe 6’ high. At 5’7” had to bend to get under spray. Breakfast is ok. Many options but not real flavorful. It seems safe enough and is near stores. That is a plus.

2/10 Poor

I arrived about 215 pm and went to check in and the clerk tried to charge me 25$ for being early by 45 minutes, she had a nasty attitude. When we finally got done with the reason we drove 200 miles we got checked in about 8 or so, went into the room and the bathroom had an awful stench like it had been used recently. The bed was terrible, hard and not comfortable at all. I've stayed at this location several times before and I promise I won't be back. I felt like they had something against me for some reason.
